REMI (Roma) 4 MONTH NEEDS SURGERY TO SAVE HER LIFE
Tax deductible
PAWS rescued Remi (Roma) from Maricopa County Animal Care and Control with the knowledge she had a heart murmur. Remi's vet visit indicates she needs Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Heart Surgery. If Remi does not get this surgery she will not survive past her first birthday.
VetMed Emergency & Specialty Hospital, 20610 N. Cave Creek Rd., Phoenix 85024 will be doing the surgery.
THIS IS REMI'S CONDITION....In affected animals, the pressure change in the heart after birth results in a reverse flow of blood through the still open vessel (from the aorta to the pulmonary artery), which allows for an increased blood flow to the lungs (though, less commonly, the blood will flow in the opposite direction through the vessel). Too much blood in the lungs means fluid build-up. Too much blood in the left side of the heart means the heart has to work harder. Both problems mean this disease will end in heart failure, usually within the first year or two of life, depending on its severity––that is, if the disease remains untreated.
ALL DONATIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. The PAWS Team
