Meet Reptar! Reptar is an almost 3.5-month-old, 12 lbs male English Bulldog. Reptar came to us due to having a broken heart with a heart murmur with a grade 3 of 6. He had an echo and he was diagnosed as having severe pulmonic stenosis. He had a and balloon valvuloplasty through Purdue University and is on the mend. Reptar has mild to moderate tricuspid valve dysplasia, and mild mitral valve dysplasia with systolic anterior motion that need to be monitored. Reptar will need an echo in 1-3 months and will be on lifelong medication. All further follow-up care will be the adopter's responsibility.
The adoption fee is $500. This includes the spay/neuter, microchip, wellness bloodwork, fecal flotation, deworming and all core vaccines through puppyhood (as long as you return to us for vaccines).
