Being a cardiology-only practice, we don't see puppies very often — but when we do, everyone leaves with tails wagging! 🐕
Houston came to us from Bark n' Rolls Rockin' Rescue (), and Dr. Lange discovered he had a congenital heart defect known as a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Left uncorrected, a PDA can lead to congestive heart failure — but thankfully, that won't 🚫 be Houston's story.
He underwent a PDA occlusion, a procedure where a small device is placed across the defect to close the open vessel in his heart. Houston did great throughout the procedure and recovery, and was beyond excited to head home with his foster mom, Sam! ❤️
