Daisy, 7 mos old female Airedale ADOPTION PENDING!! |
I am sure I got my name Daisy because daisies are simple yet beautiful flowers. They also symbolize new beginnings, which is what Rescue is doing for me---looking for that new forever home which is MY new beginning. I am almost 7 months old and a very calm, smart puppy. I even walk nicely on a leash. I came into rescue with my brother a couple weeks ago (who is calm like me) and he already found his forever home.
My turn was delayed because the veterinarian heard a heart murmur. I am otherwise in tip top condition. My shots are current. I am HW/Lyme/Ehrlichia/Anaplasmosis negative. I have been spayed too.
Now to my heart murmur. I was sent to a specialist to have it checked out. I have no symptoms of heart disease. No coughing, no shortness of breath, good appetite, and my energy level fine (my personality is chill). I saw 2 cardiologists and had an Echocardiogram and blood work. There were 2 abnormalities seen on echocardiogram one minor and one more serious. The good news was that my Heart size and contraction was normal. They saw a tiny hole in the ventricular septum (VSD) and it will never cause me a problem and that alone would not shorten my lifespan. Unfortunately they also saw that my aortic valve is narrowed. Its called Subaortic Stenosis (SAS). That is the problem. It can cause increased work of the left ventricle (the side of the heart that pumps blood to the rest of the body). That can lead to heart failure or sudden death. I also have extra tissue around the aorta. They did blood tests to make sure it was not a piece of infection (no evidence infection at this time). So what does that mean? I could have a shortened life span. How short, no one knows. I could live a long life (of course we all hope for that).
Good news: I don't need any medicines. I can eat whatever I want. But no forced exercise for me. Let me set the pace for walks and distances. I play happily with foster mom's dogs and I'm fine. And I run around in her yard!
No one knows how long their life will be. But what I can tell you is that I will love being with you every minute. Abraham Lincoln said it best, "In the end, its not the years in your life that count. Its the life in your years." I want to be your dog. I want to be loved. Please don't count the days I may not be with you. That does not matter. What matters is our time together.
My foster Mom is happy to talk with you and send you my cardiology report. Im suppose to go back in a couple months.
