Hi Everyone,
My six month old puppy Sophie is gorgeous and hilarious and we all love her. Since she was 4 months she has been having episodes of collapse without loss of consciousness, episodes of blue gums and tongue and of fast heart rate. I was convinced she had cardiomyopathy but on Wednesday she had heart investigations which showed only a mild heart valve regurgitation (I got it wrong- it is Pulmonary valve dysplasia, not Tricuspid as in previous post).
The Vet said that the degree of Valve problem should not be causing these symptoms so now she has to have a general anaesthetic to have an X-ray and bloods taken this week. I'm worried in case it's something else serious like a blood condition or a cancer, especially as the area under her eye (if you peel the lower lid down) is very pale.
I do not really know what is wrong and it's very worrying.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Bella
