When you hear the term "a dog is man's best friend", it doesn't really hit home until they need your help the most. Our little best friend Paco needs all the hope and prayers he can get.
We spent the entire Christmas break and are still providing 24-7 care after he collapsed a few times from oxygen deprivation... nearly dying on Christmas morning and needed CPR to pull through. His heart has enlarged a little bit and was pushing up against his windpipe and esophagus, causing labored breathing and loss of oxygen.
He was seen by the wonderful staff at the Oregon State University Veterinary School Monday and was sent home with heart medication.
Thankfully he is showing signs of response to the medication but he's not out of the woods yet. We have a follow up scheduled next week to see exactly how much improvement has been made.
It would be one thing if he was showing signs of serious suffering or mental deterioration, but he's quite chipper and wants to do all his normal activities.
Thank you very much for your moral support.
