Canine Heart-Related Heartache
I’m sad to report that we now have a second terminal illness in the house. Our eldest dog Ginko (who is a lab + greyhound mix and 13 1/2 years old) was diagnosed Monday, October 7, with both leaky heart valves (due to old age) and premature ventricular contractions (a heart arrhythmia). We’re hopeful, but heartbroken.
