This Dog Needs To Undergo Surgery For A Congenital Heart Defect In Order To Have Another 10 To 12 Happy Years Of Her Life
Binkus, a beautiful pup of Samson Klitsner, was recently diagnosed with PS, also known as Pulmonic Stenosis, a congenital heart defect.
Samson’s special companion was always known for having more love than her heart could handle. At times, she would get so excited to see family members and friends that she would faint.
Unfortunately, Samson was left with devastating news a few weeks ago as Binkus’ diagnosis from an echocardiogram confirmed she was experiencing a severe heart murmur.
Pulmonic Stenosis is a condition where the valve separates from the right side of the heart from the blood vessels, which causes it not to open normally.
Now Binkus’ body is working overtime to compensate, which has caused further complications with her heart, such as abnormal heart rhythms and an enlarged heart.
Eventually, these complications will lead to congestive heart failure.
If left untreated, Binkus would have looked at a life expectancy of 3-5 years. However, Samson was able to organize a fundraiser that ended up accumulating enough money to cover Binkus’ surgery!
Binkus is now 3 1/2 years old, so the surgery will give her an extra 10-12 years of a happy and healthy life.

He started the GoFundMe page in hopes of raising $8,700 and was able to surpass his goal in less than seven days!
Two hundred seventy-four people were able to pitch in a donate to the cause. In return, Binkus has received confirmation from the cardiologist that they are cleared for surgery, and the procedure will take place on August 10th.
“I have never personally felt this level of support in my life, and it has been a powerful experience. You are amazing, and I am grateful,” said Samson on a GoFundMe page.
“Thank you for giving us this opportunity to save my sweet dog Binkus.”
Here is an itemized breakdown of Binkus’ medical bills, which include the initial consultation, cardiology consultation, echocardiogram, balloon valvuloplasty procedure, and atenolol heart medication.
Samson has vowed to donate any extra funds left that are left over after paying all of these medical expenses to the Stand Up for Pits Organization.
