Dog Heart Attack - Chihuahua with congestive heart failure
YOU MAY FIND THIS VIDEO DISTURBING. This is my dog Bluey the Chihuahua. She has heart problems that started after New Years. She's 11 years old and in this video, she passes out from lack of oxygen after going up the steps by herself.
Her heart valves aren't working and she's on 4 medications. She won't ever be "okay" again and I've had to make some changes to accommodate her weakened state.
I created this video to show people what it looked like for Bluey's illness. This video is about reality. It's about pain. It's about the anguish I go through each time I look at her not knowing when she's going to pass on from this world. Since writing several blog posts and videos about her illness, other people with dogs have contacted me to share their stories of their dogs. I hope this video helps you understand your dog's health.

Update: Bluey passed away April 23rd, 2011. Her heart valves became progressively worse and she passed away peacefully at home.
Rest in Peace Bluey. You were a bright and shining light in my life. A great companion. Thank you for being a part of it while you were here.
Love,
Adria Richards
