MoonPet Salvador Dali
DOB 5/9/16
On 11/28/16 Moonpet Salvador Dali was diagnosed with HCM by DACVIM Dr. Lori Siemens after my regular vet noted a grade 3 murmur on auscultation. His breeder Irina Shibanova, has refused to acknowledge the validity of his diagnosis. He was neutered under guidlines for anesthesia by his Cardiologist and was also microchipped to provide additional proof for his future test results.
On 1/25/17 MoonPet Salvador Dali had another echocardiogram with a different DACVIM Dr. Brian Mackie. Within two months of his first echocardiogram, his disease has progressed from Mild to Moderate HCM.
To be extra vigilant with the diagnosis we decided to test his T4 count for hypothyroidism as well as his blood pressure to rule out secondary cause for HCM. I recieved his T4 02/05/17, which indicated he was well within the normal ranges.
These results were forwarded to Dr. Brian Mackie who confirmed his diagnosis of Moderate Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and added an addendum to the initial scan report on 02/06/2017.
Irina Shibanova, MoonPet Salvador Dali has been diagnosed with HCM by two seperate board certified cardiologists. He has progressed to Moderate HCM in two months, hypertension and hyperthyroidismhas been ruled out as secondary causes for the disease. I bought this male as a breeder, and within a week of owning him he was diagnosed with HCM. I expect a refund as per our contract and your written statement in our private conversations on Facebook.
