I didn't realize that there were pacemakers for dogs! Although I guess I shouldn't be surprised...our three legged Lab/Chessie has had a total hip replacement.
Actually there arent any pacemaker made specifically for dogs...they are all for humans....the companys, in Izzys case Meditronic, donate any pacemakers that have past the expiry date as they cannot resterilize them for humans...at one time they reused pacemakers that were removed from humans but they havent done that for some time..
A three legged doggie with an artificial hip...now thats impressive ! Glad he is doing well...
