Taquito Needs Best Friends to help with his ongoing veterinary expenses.

Taquito is a 5-8yr old male weighing only 3.4 lbs. He is a big talker and loves to be held; he really doesn't want to leave your sight. He always gives this sweet pitiful look to be held and loved. Taquito was taken to Texas A&M since the vet recommended that he get an ultrasound of his heart. He was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition, so he must take 3 types of medicines 2X a day plus a cough suppressant when needed. With this condition, he can not be put under anesthesia for anything, so that means he can not be neutered or get a dental which he needs badly. In addition, Taquito has a luxtating patella in his right rear leg which can't be corrected because he can't be put under. He is not in pain, but needs to be supervised and get an x-ray taken every 6 months to monitor his enlarged heart. He is one of the world's sweetest dogs and just wants love forever.
