Success StoriesPansy, July 2002Pansy's story as told by her rescuer:
When the pups were 8 weeks old they were taken to the veterinarian to be spayed or neutered. And that is when Pansy's problem was found. The veterinarian knew that she had something wrong with her heart; he suspected Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) and suggested that she be given an ultrasound to confirm his diagnosis. It was discovered that she did indeed have PDA, a serious heart defect that could lead to heart failure. Pansy needed surgery and quickly. Veterinarians in the area were called for quotes on the price of the procedure. The problem was that even at the discounted rate performing the surgery would critically deplete the funds of the Animal Oasis. Without surgery Pansy would die of heart failure and with the surgery she would be normal.
With LABMED's help Pansy had her surgery. She came through the procedure like a champ. The only complication was that she had some diarrhea after surgery and it tested positive for Parvo. And none the worse for wear, Pansy was ready to start her new life. A daughter of one of the veterinary technicians saw Pansy at the hospital and fell immediately in love. They applied for adoption on the spot and Pansy (now called Paris) was on her way to her new forever home. |
