Hi. My name is Val, I have a white german shephard called bess. Bess had keyhole surgury to the heart yesterday to correct a grade 6 heart murmer. She went in the vets in the morning and walked out in the afternoon. Today she is playing! But what I want to stress is I rescued Bess from a puppy farm. My vet diagnosed her with a heart murmer straight away and told me I should take her back. I could not put her back in those conditions. The heart murmer grew worse and the thrill to the side of the chest was easy to feel. I got her to a cardiologist who gave me three choices, leave it and she will die, open heart surgury or key hole surgury. What was I to do but to go for the best option for my dog. I am happy to say I am astounded by the results of the keyhole, but I am unhappy to say the effect on my credit card is a large black hole. I would like to see this posted on your site as a warning for all those who might just want a cute fluffy bargain..In my book that does not exist.
