Sweet Coco is a 5 year old Shih Tzu. She loves everyone she meets and does well with other dogs. Coco loves to be around people and believes she is the queen with the attention she loves to get.

She is current on vaccinations, spayed, on monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative, house trained and crate trained (however she would prefer to sleep with you and have free reign of the house) She has had a dental.

Coco has a heart murmur (grade 4 out of 6) and did see a cardiologist to determine what was all going on. She has degenerative valve disease affecting the mitral and tricuspid valves in her heart. Her heart disease is not severe at this time, but does require periodic rechecks with a cardiologist to monitor her for any progression and decide whether or not medication is indicated. Recheck appointments are recommended every 6 to 9 months.

Coco has been placed on daily medication for her heart disease. Current cost of the most common heart medication is $80 for a 50 day supply for a dog of her size (this can vary, depending on the medication and future inflation) . The current medication available for dogs with heart disease allows them to live a happier, longer life.

She is eating a prescription dog food that will help with her heart health.

If you're looking for a New Year's resolution, we have one for you - help us spread the word to prevent lead from being put into our environment. During Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, our hospital staff and volunteers, who work 365 days a year, spent the holidays responding to 4 bald eagles with lead poisoning, sadly none of which survived.

The Raptor Center's lead surveillance reveals 80-90% of the bald eagles admitted have lead in their blood, with a significant portion suffering from severe and lethal toxicity. Responsible hunting activities can help to keep our ecosystem balanced and healthy, but unfortunately, when lead ammunition is used there can be widespread unintended consequences. During deer hunting season, eagles, scavenging on gut piles or unrecovered deer contaminated with lead-based ammunition, ingest this deadly toxin. The fragmented lead bullets, used widely in hunting, are found to disperse dangerously within the deer carcass, turning what should be a natural act of scavenging into a lethal meal for these majestic birds.

With over 100,000 deer hunted annually in Minnesota alone, the choice of ammunition has a far-reaching impact on our wildlife and environment. Switching to non-lead alternatives, such as copper ammunition, can be a game-changer. These non-toxic options are not only proven to be as effective as lead shots and increasingly affordable, but also ensure that wildlife, like our cherished bald eagles, are spared from unintended harm.

Hunters can redefine their love for nature and their role as conservationists. Choosing non-toxic ammunition like copper is a choice that benefits not just eagles but all wildlife, and even hunters themselves, by providing a safer food source. It’s a small change with a massive impact, safeguarding the future of the bald eagle and honoring the true spirit of hunting and conservation.
