Derby's Health-Testing:
Cardiologist OFA-NORMAL-No Murmur. Cardiologist Echo-NORMAL Flow
Rates: Aortic Valve Flow Rate-1.6m/sec & Pulmonic Valve Flow
Rate-1.2m/sec.
Her 24 hour Holter monitor revealed 78 PVC's (no runs
or pairs) and 7 Ventricular Escaped Beats. The Cardiologist says that
this suggests she may have myocardial disease or could be due to
inflammation, electrolyte or endocrine abnormalities (low thyroid levels). It cannot be
explained from where these ventricular arrhythmias originated, so we just
have to be cautious. Derby has been put on a heart medication (Sotalol)
to see if it will correct these premature beats, and further testing is
being done. Once all of Derby's health testing is complete, she will
probably be health cleared. But due to this issue,
her co-owner, Ashley, has asked that Derby not be bred. We have
decided to honor these wishes and are no longer mutual owners of Derby with
Ashley. Derby is to be spayed by Ashley and live with her as a
pampered pet. 
Derby is now owned in Texas by Ashley R.
