We've had an eventful couple weeks with him. To make a long story short he started having these fainting spells called syncope and after bloodwork at the vet and a ton of tests run by a cardiologist at the OSU vet hospital we found out he has boxer cardiomyopathy. It's a genetic predisposition with the right ventricle in his heart which could cause him to go into cardiac arrest at anytime. Thankfully we discovered the problem and got him into the cardiologist very soon and now he is on medication for life to help control the arrythmias. So far he hasn't had any spells since being on the medication. We're praying it will help him live as close to a normal long life as possible.
