Thank you for posting about you dogs heart condition. It's good to know there are options like this. And even better than more owners know about it thru your posting.:C
Just one more question were you referred to a University for the diagnosis and procedure?
Izzy arrested the first time at our own vets clinic..they thought it was the propofol so she was referred to the OVC to be under anesthesiology care for the enucleation...she arrested twice during the procedure and then cardiology got involved..she went on continuos EKG while in ICU x4 days and then came home with a Holter monitor on x72 hrs..which showed Sick Sinus Syndrome...the pulmonary hypertension was discovered this time during the pre-op Doppler ...so she now has the pacemaker for the SSS and Sildenafil ( a vasodilator ) for the PH. Her prognosis is undetermined r/t to the PH
