Baby Butters Heart Surgery
Donation protected
Hi to everyone- please help me to save my four legged baby!
On Monday, December 8th 2014 I met my fluffy best friend and her name is Butters. She is part toy poodle + part shih tsu. And is perfect in every way. For every dog lover out there, from the moment you meet your new family member, they instantly touch your heart and have a permanent impression that'll never leave. For majority of you, you have seen Butters' pictures, videos, slow motion hops, and her eyes that will melt your heart instantly. She is a quick learner, and has the sweetest heart I've come across. The moment you meet her, you'll take note she looks just like an ewok and you'll fall in love instantly. She's been a healthy, active, smart puppy whose changed my life forever.
On Friday, March 20th 2015, Butters wasnt acting like herself so we scheduled an immediate emergency apppointment. It was overnight that this had happened, and after several tests, ultra sounds, and ekg's it has been discovered that Butters is suffering from pulmonic stenosis. Which, what I'm telling myself is that Butters' heart is filled with so much love and is just too big for her little body :) but what it really means is that she is suffering from an inherited heart disease in which the pulmonic valve is poorly formed, leading to a narrowing of the area through which blood travels as it makes its exit from the heart into the artery that enters the lungs. Its is graded on a scale from mild to severe and unfortunately, Butters has been preliminary diagnosed with severe. Thankfully, there is a surgery when placed in the hands of a skilled surgeon that has a sucess rate of 87%, and is on the higer end of having the capablity of living an excellent life after recovery. So Butters is in good company.
I started this fund, for my best friend to give her the best chances of living that healthy life that she started out with us, and returning her to that joyful, bouncing puppy that loves anyone and everyone. Donations, anything big or small, words of encouragement, and prayers are all welcomed and encouraged. She has her final appointment with her cardiologist on Tuesday, March 24th and it will then be decided the route of plans we choose to take for her. Thank you so much for stopping by to listen to our story and help make an impact on such an amazing little big heart.
Love Always,
Butters, Diana, Camille, and the entire Serna family!
