Still Waters Posted November 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2012 A labrador with a rare heart malformation is to undergo a 3,000-euro (£2,400) human heart surgery in a top Paris hospital, following a Facebook campaign to save his life. Veterinary surgeons at Maison-Alfort in Paris said that an operation to repair a ruptured artery in nine-month-old Lycka was technically too difficult to succeed. But instead of opting to put the dog down, they contact surgeons at the Montsouris hospital – for humans – in Paris's 14th arrondissement. http://www.telegraph...rt-surgery.html Well done everyone and good luck.

Keel M. Posted November 29, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I hope the operation takes place in an animal hospital and not one for people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendy Demon Posted November 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I hope the operation takes place in an animal hospital and not one for people. Why should that matter? At any rate I am glad that the dog will get a new leash..oops, I mean LEASE on life. (Ok..I know..lame but I had to do it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keel M. Posted November 29, 2012 #6 Share Posted November 29, 2012 It matters because animals don't belong in people hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xCrimsonx Posted November 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Okay so if there is organ donation for humans, why don't we have it for animals/pet/ and zoo's? I find zoo's to be heart breaking. I love my dogs and I'd loose all my fingers and toes for them but I have children, there are parents in the world right now that has to look into their children's eyes and tell them,"not today sweetheart ". Money can buy life, but only the health system and real government priorities can save them! Lucky pup, and bless him! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
