Ingrid is appealing to men to give up just one of their own Viagra pills...
A public campaign is being started to help a mongrel female dog called Ingrid that is desperately in need of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. Now before you think that the campaign is to help the dog with its sexual function remember that Ingrid is female and therefore Viagra will be of no use in that department. In this case the Viagra is needed because the dog is suffering from a heart condition which is similar to pulmonary arterial hypertension suffered by humans and thus if Ingrid takes the Viagra her arteries will then open wider and help her to live.
The Little Animal Shelter of Huntington which has taken in Ingrid is appealing to men to give up just one of their own Viagra pills so that she can be treated for her life threatening condition. They estimate that if 200 men are kind enough to donate just one Viagra pill each they will be able to keep Ingrid alive for seven months. The cost of buying the Viagra is putting financial strain on the under funded animal shelter and there is a worry that soon they may not be able to buy the medication for the poor dog anymore.
Not many people know that the original research done with the Viagra drug was not for erectile dysfunction but in fact was for angina which is a heart condition. The erectile function boost was an unexpected side effect and now more research is now being done with Viagra for heart problems. In the future people may be prescribed Viagra a whole range of heart and arterial conditions. At present the active ingredient of Viagra, sildenafil citrate is sometimes prescribed to men and women who suffer from pulmonary arterial hypertension that is a rare and complicated heart and lung condition.
It is likely that the Little Animal Shelter of Huntingdon will get their Viagra after a public appeal was made on national news in America.
