Pulmonic Valve Stenosis


Recommended Posts

A friend is looking for information about this condition and treatment. Her whippet has been diagnosed (by two cardiac specialists). She has been given two treatment options:

 

- open heart surgery

- a baloon catheter procedure (sounds like angioplasty?)

 

This pup is only 12 weeks old. The condition has been graded 4.7 on a severity scale of 5 (the high number being most severe). Untreated, the condition will worsen as the pup ages.

 

Given how similar whippets and greyhounds are, if anyone has been through this with their hound, the benefit of your experience would be so greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.
