One of my kits, Meichi, has just been diagnosed with PDA, after the
doctor heard a murmur.  We had an ultrasound and x-rays done to confirm.
He needs to have surgery to repair the problem with his little heart, or
eventually it will just fail.  Has anyone else come across this?  Does
anyone know if the prognosis is good with surgery?  He needs the surgery
soon, and I just want to make sure that he won't die anyway even with the
surgery...I don't want to put him through a surgery if it isn't going to
do any good...
 
I am worried about the little guy.  I hope that the surgery works, I
don't know what I'd do if I just found him dead one day.
 
All the other kits are doing great, Stitch already weighs 2 lbs!  (They
were born June 2nd).
 
Anyway, if anyone is familiar with the pda, please let me know what your
experience has been.
 
Thanks!
Jacci
