Victor Goes to College

Our beloved Shih Tzu Victor after getting a wonderful dog check up 4 weeks ago, collapsed with a heart attack. I gave him mouth to mouth and cpr and brought him back. Our vet sent us to MSU small animal hospital. Victor  had a physical exam, EEG, blood work, xrays, ultra sound, and stress test.

 He is in wonderful shape-except for a bad heart.  His little heart mummer has gotten worse and the left ventricle of his heart is enlarged. They gave him medication to help his heart pump-it should buy us 6 months to a year. When the heart fails there is other medication-but after reading about the side effects we have decided this is the only step we will take. We have seen too many family members suffer, and want to enjoy him and allow him to spend his finally time lively and happy.

The little guy stole my heart and made me into a dog person.Vido below shows the MSU Animal Hospital.
