❤️Please meet Millie - a 12.5-year-old Chihuahua who is a patient with our cardiology team. ❤️
Millie was diagnosed with congestive heart failure nearly two years ago with a common genetic heart condition known as Chronic Degenerative Valve Disease. CDVD causes the heart to enlarge due to a leaky mitral valve.
Millie has been on medication to help manage her condition, and at her most recent follow-up with the Cardiology team, her family shared that she's doing exceptionally well at home—she’s full of energy and acting like a puppy again! 🐕🐾
Pictured is on of our two FABULOUS cardiologists- Dr. Erin McCarragher-with Millie and her mom, Sarah.
