Willie-Woo Update!

Willie Woo is now 6 months old and his heart is still doing well. He isn't symptomatic yet but in time he will show signs of heart failure...

For those of you that don't know his story, Willie Woo was diagnosed with Left to Right Ventricular Septal Defect and left untreated he will only live a short time.

My name is Nina Medina and I am the president of the Menifee Valley Humane Society and Willie Woo's Mom. We rescued him from out front of Costco when he was only 2 months old and at 3 months we found out he had a heart condition. Willie is watched closely by a vet and as of a few days ago is still doing great. He is gaining weight, growing, and showing no clinical signs of being sick.

We were told by a local Cardiologist that there was nothing they could do to help Willie and when the time comes that he shows signs of heart failure they could treat with drugs to keep him alive as long as possible.

Well we obtained a second opinion from the University of Colorado and their Cardiologist can preform a banding procedure to save Willie Woo!!
