Echo update Aug 22nd 2023.....
Echo was seen at UMN by three specialty teams. Echo's results were definitely not what we were hoping for. Because of low oxygen saturations to her vital organs like her liver, GI tract and kidneys Echo will live a short life. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to change that. She will continue on with her two medications and visits with her cardiology team at UMN.
Echo will be a furever foster in DDR to ensure she gets all of the specialty medical attention needed.

⭐️ FUR-STER SPOTLIGHT ⭐️

 

Miss Echo

 

⏰️ I am 1 year old

 

⚖️ I weigh 8 pounds

 

I am a beautiful Sable color

 

⏳️ I have been in rescue for 1 year. I was born in rescue as my mommy came to DDR with little surprises about to bless this

 

I ❤️ TOYS !! I'm extremely playful!

 

‍ Men- YES, PLEASE! Women- ABSOLUTELY! Children- 5 years old or older- I'm a bit J-u-M-p-Y when I get excited and I don't want to hurt anyone

 

I am barky...... I just have a lot to say! Will you be my listening ?

 

I'm potty and piddle pad trained- Nailed it!

 

Is that a leash? I like those! Where are we going for our next adventure? ⛺️

 

‍♀️ I'm not kennel trained, but my foster parents trust me to FREE ROAM all day - WINNING!!

 

What is that? DO you know? NO? I don't know either ‍♀️ (cats- unknown)

 

Small dogs ✔️ BIG dogs ✔️

 

But..... I've never been around a bigger than 32 pounds

 

I will chase ‍♀️ anything that runs from me - ⚡️ lickity-split ⚡️ I'm GOOOONE!

 

⚠️ Because of ⬆️ I REQUIRE a fenced yard for my safety!

 

Picky-Picky-Picky! My mom and dad call me a 'picky eater'- they offer me 2️⃣ or 3️⃣ different types of food each meal

 

Ummm.. excuse me... Ruuuude! I don't call it being picky, "high maintenance" is more like it!

 

Let me straighten my crown

 

In all seriousness, my and take a lot of calories so my foster mom and dad buy lots of different types of foods to try to keep my weight up.

 

** I'm a bit of a medical case **

 

I have a heart defect which has caused severe pulmonary hypertension. I'm on TWO medications that have to be dissolved and syringed in THREE times a day. Without these medications, I will die.

 

I'm sure you're wondering why they have to be dissolved instead of using soft food or pill pockets? You can't trick me, I'll spit those right out! ️ NICE TRY!

 

I DO NOT like my medication I HAVE to take

 

YOU MUST KNOW

 

‍⚕️I see the UMN cardiology team for my heart issues. I have to be scanned periodically to see if there is any improvement in my lung pressures

 

If the pressures come down, I will be able to have a procedure at UMN to close my heart defect.

 

I'm waiting to be spayed. It will be done at UMN as I am TOO high risk to be put under anesthesia. I need my specialty team with their special equipment for a dog with pulmonary hypertension (high pressure in my lungs). I am currently scheduled for May

 

️ If I'm not the right fit for you, please share my post , YOU may know someone who is!

 

 

**Happy 1st Birthday Echo!!
This sweet girl has been through a lot in one year of life.
We are blessed to have a wonderful team of veterinarians in Sioux Falls as well as her cardiology team at UMN to help care for her.


Hi! I'm Echo. I'm a tiny girl with a heart defect called a patent ductus arteriosus as well as pulmonary hypertension. I currently am fighting very hard to get bigger and get my lungs to relax so my heart can be fixed.
I had to go see Dr George very quickly last month to get specialty meds to save my life. I need some help with my vetting bills.....can you be an angel and help support me while I try to grow and get better so I can have a heart procedure done?

 I have a long road ahead of me to improve enough to be able to get my heart fixed
