Muffin is a 10-year old Bulldog that was very ill due to a mass at the base of her heart that was bleeding into her pericardium (the lining around the heart). The mass, unfortunately, was not surgically resectable but Dr. Oliver Morgan performed a surgery, called a pericardectomy, to remove the pericardium which relieved the pressure created by the bleeding. She recovered extremely well and is enjoying life! Muffin was a 2016 Courageous Companion.
