I have just come back from the first visit to the vet. He is pretty sure that Rory has a mitral valve malformation and a Atrial Septal or Ventricular Septal Defect. I am at loss as to what to do. I have contacted the breeder, but I am sure she is probably at work right now and will call me later.
I have been told to take her into a Vet Radiologist to get the full diagnosis - but if this is true.. what should I expect? She is only 8 weeks old - is this a "put to sleep" type of situation? Is this a situation that can be managed with a daily pill or medicine? Is this a situation in which she'll be okay for a good 5 years or so but may not last a full 10-15 years as other fellow adults? I need help - please send this email through. It's really important that I get the advice from fellow chihuahua owners.. Allison ------------------------ Yahoo!
