Campaign Details
Athena was part of the Pittie Paw Rescue seizure by Knox County Animal Shelter in Knox County, Ohio. It was obvious she was neglected, emaciated and had severe untreated allergies when she came into our rescue. She is the most precious loving girl, despite all she has gone through.
Athena is being treated at The Ohio State Veterinary Hospital in Columbus Ohio. She initially had x-rays, lasix, echo-cardiogram and 200 CC of fluid pulled from her heart. She'll be getting blood work, 4DX to test for infectious diseases, urinalysis, biopsy of fluid and pericardial sac and a CT scan prior to her heart surgery. They will be performing a pericardial window. A pericardial window is a procedure done on the sac around the heart. Surgically removing a small part of the sac lets doctors drain excess fluid from the sac to keep fluid from building up, until they can diagnose the issue causing the right sided heart failure.
Once again, we would greatly appreciate your help.
Even a $5 donation goes a long way! And if you're not able to donate (even if you are), please remember to share with others you think might want to help too!
On behalf of Athena, thank you!
