A Fragile Heart: Baby Girl’s Fight for a Future

Posted on by

1/28/26 Update: 1/28/26: Baby Girl Needs a Cardiologist. She was found last week at a gas station in Detroit, alone in the freezing cold. No one has come forward to claim her. The good Samaritan who found her noticed abnormal breathing and reached out for help.

Centerline Veterinary Hospital was able to see her Monday morning. Diagnostics confirmed Baby Girl has an enlarged heart. Thankfully, she tested negative for heartworm disease.

She has been started on Lasix to help manage her symptoms while she awaits a cardiology appointment for an echocardiogram. This test is needed to better understand her condition and determine the best treatment plan.
Donations have been very slow, but we would like to help Baby Girl get the care she needs. A cardiology consult and echocardiogram typically cost $600–$900. A formal estimate is being requested.

If you are able to help support Baby Girl’s care, donations can be made using the link below. Every contribution makes a difference. Thank you for caring and for helping animals like Baby Girl.

1/26/26: It was a VERY busy weekend that continued into this morning with animal emergency situations back to back. This dog named “Baby Girl” was found in the bitter cold with labored breathing.

She needs veterinary care right away. We are working on getting her in. Basic diagnostics alone are almost $600 at the nearest vet hospital.
The rescuer and I are in communication and I will update once I know more. Prayers needed.
