Any ideas!!!

Ok so just an update, Kreig does not have coondog paralysis. We did and ultra sound on his heart this morning and the results are not good. As it was explained to me. On 1 of the 4 chambers in his heart there are 4 tendons that control the valve that releases blood to the body, the aorta is the vein it supply's. The 3rd tendon down has come loose and is currently flopping uncontrollably in his heart, this has caused the white blood cells to attack just as they would with any other wound. This has caused a clot, which explains why he's been unable to use his front legs. This is a condition that is almost unheard of in dogs, a&am has never seen this happen it's only been talked about. Luckily my vet just returned from a dog heart convention, this condition was touched on while she was there so she thought of the ultra sound of his heart. Sadly but surely because it is so rare the only thing we can do is give him blood thinners to hopefully clear the clot. The idea is that this will clear the clot while giving that 1 tendon time to retract out of the pathway its obstructing. If it works he'll be fine, if not well the outlook ain't good. I realize most of you have that 1 dog that loosing would devastate, this his him for me. Surely hope this sucker pulls through.
