A team of vets has become the first in Dubai to perform complicated heart surgery when it successfully operated on an eight-month-old puppy.
The surgeons at Modern Vet saved the life of a Pomeranian called Holly, who was suffering from a serious congenital heart defect known as patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
If left untreated the condition can cause heart failure with fluid filling the lungs.

Dr Jose Botte, veterinary cardiologist specialist
The life expectancy of dogs suffering from PDA is typically between six to nine months.
