1/2/2025 – Precious update. Several people have been following her story, so I wanted to post an update to let everyone know how she is doing. We had a hard time getting her into a cardiologist right away, but we were able to do the echocardiogram through a day-practice hospital. It wasn’t something the doctor felt should wait in case she needed to be put on heart medication right away.

The report basically showed that she has enlargement on the left side, and lower airway disease, which could be Asthma. They wanted a further workup on a blood pressure and thyroid check to rule out hypertension. We were able to do both of those things. As of right now, the doctor is recommending no heart medication and recheck her blood pressure in 2 months – Gina https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

12/19/4 – A lot of people have been following this story, so I would like to post a quick update.

It was recommended by one of our doctors that Precious go to a cardiologist. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to get in right away and it’s also very costly, especially for our nonprofit organization.

We have already done quite a bit of diagnostics, but she is in need of a echo cardiogram. After talking with the rescuer and calling several places, we have decided to schedule her echo on Monday. This appointment will not be at a specialist, but it will be read by a team of professionals and allow us to get her going on any necessary medication sooner than later.

Please keep Precious in your prayers, and if you would like to make a donation towards her medical care, we would really appreciate the help.

I will post again once I know more. Gina https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

12/8/24 Precious needs more help than we can give. Her owner passed away 6 years ago and she has been living her life in a basement with family members dropping in to feed her.

There may also have been mold and poor environmental conditions. A member of the family reached out for help and a kind hearted person named Amy offered to open her home up to foster Precious.

Amy contacted us because Precious was wheezing and in need of medical attention. We set up her up to be seen at one of our partner Veterinary Hospitals and several tests including bloodwork, x rays, ultrasound, etc were run.

Precious needs to see a cardiologist. She is also blind and deaf. Her asthma cannot be treated without having a cardiac workup done.

For now, she was started on antibiotics because of a respiratory infection. Amy, can not keep Precious long term or give her the care she needs. Please share her story in hopes that someone might help give her a chance and take over her care from here, and please donate for those like

Precious who deserve better than what’s she’s gone through since her owner passed..
