Cow is a 3 month old American Staffordshire Terrier in Akron, , who needs $10,930 for Balloon Valvuloplasty.

This cute 16 week old munchkin named Cow, came from a breeder. He was being sold as a perfectly healthy little puppy, but upon taking him to the vet (VCA animal hospital) it was discovered this little guy had a level 5/6 heart murmur and further testing would be needed. He had a busy couple weeks going to the emergency room for x-rays, and having an echocardiogram done @metrovethospital.

He is diagnosed with pulmonary stenosis which is a condition of the heart that will require a balloon valvuloplasty surgery. This surgery will open a valve in his heart so the blood can flow through the correct way. If left untreated this condition will cause congestive heart failure very soon. He has a surgery scheduled for August 26th @metrovethospital.

Cow is the sweetest little puppy who reminds me more of a little kitten than a dog. He has an older brother and they are inseparable. As he gets older, he wants so badly to run around with zoomies and do all the cute things puppies do , but I was given instructions to keep him very calm until the surgery, so no more damage is done to his heart.

I have taken Cow to about 5 different appointments . Now I am faced with a $10,000 surgery. Our little family would be devasted without him. He brings us so much joy with his silliness and compassion. There are so many things this little guy has not experienced.
