UPDATE: Ekko made it through his heart surgery and did great! After a night of careful monitoring, he's headed back to his foster home today to continue healing.

Thank you to everyone who sent kind words and donated to help cover the cost of his care! Your support not only helps Ekko, it also helps ensure we can say “yes” to future #animals who need lifesaving care 💙

Ekko the pit bull terrier mix stands in a kennel at the hospital. he's wearing a plastic cone around his neck and theres a bandage and IV in his right front leg. His right ear is pointed up and his left is flopped down. He's looking at the camera. Ekko is mostly tan with white between his eyes, around his nose, on his neck and chest. His feet are also white. He's standing on some furry blankets.

Our MASS coalition partner, Berkshire Humane, knew that Ekko needed advanced medical care that would be hard to get in their area, so we brought him to #Boston. Angell’s cardiology team determined the best course of treatment is to perform a balloon valvuloplasty, a delicate procedure to open a narrowed valve in his heart and restore blood flow. 2/

Ekko undergoing testing at Angell. He's on a navy blue exam table in a room with many computers. He's looking up at the camera while a vet tech with long brown hair in a braid holds him. Another vet tech with long brown hair in the foreground is looking at a medical device, taking a reading. A staffer behind her is operating an echocardiogram machine. Ekko is tan with white between his eyes and on his snout. His belly is also white.

NEW: This is Ekko, a very sweet three-month-old pit bull terrier mix who plays and snuggles like any normal pup, completely oblivious to the danger lurking in his own heart. He has severe pulmonary valve stenosis—a condition that could result in congestive heart failure, cutting his young life much shorter than it should be 1/

3 month old ekko shortly after he came to the mspca. he's standing in a room at the shelter with white cinderblock walls and gray patterned floor. He's mostly tan, with white around his snout and between his eyes. He also has a white chest and feet. He's very close to the camera and his tongue is sticking out a bit.
