I received sad news about my puppy Freedom, now known as Moki. He was born with a heart murmur and the vets hoped that it would heal on its own. He did not show any signs of distress so we were confident that he would outgrow it. Now at 5 months old it was discovered through ultrasound and dopler testing that he has severe subaorta stenosis :-( He is on meds to hopefully help. Right now he is just showing mild signs of tiring easily. Open heart surgery or a balloon has been suggested for him, however, neither one can be performed until he is at least 1 year old. The vet has told my friend that since this disease progresses the most in the 1st year, they are not real optimistic that he will make his first birthday, unless the medication really helps. We will not know for another 8 weeks, so we have to take each day as it comes. Our hearts are broken and we ask for prayers for Moki and his family that we all can endure what is yet to come!
