Lexi is a 18 Week old Dalmation that needs Open Heart Surgery she has a Condition called
Mega esophagus.
The esophagus, the tube through which food and water move from the throat to the stomach, normally contracts and relaxes in order to function. If these normal movements are interrupted, the food has trouble moving through the esophagus and may come back up into the mouth. This condition is called megaesophagus.
Lexi form of megaesophagus is caused by PRAA (Persisent Right Aortic Arch). PRAA is a congenital anomalie of the blood vessels of the heart that results in constriction of the esophagus.

Oh my...I had a dalmatian...my very favorite dog. I will post this on my blog and donate.
Maybe we should do another auction?
Best of luck to little Lexi. I've heard of mesoesophagus before - had no idea there was a surgery to correct it. Fingers crossed for this little girl.
Oh poor little girlie, Lexi. I hope the surgery goes well and she can get recovery in no time.
Poor baby Lexi. If you want to write it up I'd love to post the story on my blog also.
I am so sorry to read that a precious pup who is so young is suffering from megaesophagus--We've had a three Goldens who have had that, (one now) so I know how serious this is. Thanks for the link--I hope they are able to get the funds to help her..
Such a cutie-pie and we will all have our paws crossed for that sweet thing.
Aww... she is such a cute little one! I hope her family is able to raise the funds and get her health on track. Sending good vibes...
She is so adorable! I am so sorry to hear she has that disease and hopes she is able to get the surgery to correct it. Lots of love, Holly and mom
Oh I hope she gets the surgery she needs. I will help spread the word.
Oh goodness. I hope that she is able to get the surgery.
She's a beautiful girl! I hope her family can raise the money necessary for her surgery. I wish I could help her.
Will you give us updates on her from time to time?
Oh dear. One of our blogging friends is also suffering from mega-esophagus. How terrible.
We will keep her in our prayers.
