Meet Jager! Jager was first transferred to the Dayton cardiology department in Dec 2024 for trouble breathing. He was diagnosed with degenerative valve disease, a common age-related disease which causes the mitral valve in the heart to become thickened and leaky. In Jager, this caused severe heart enlargement and congestive heart failure. With medications, his congestive heart failure was controlled, but the disease continued to progress. In Jan 2026, Jager's mom took him to the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine for open heart surgery to repair his mitral valve. Since his surgery, he has been acting like a puppy!
