Roberto Santilli Fondazione Otto Dylan Dog

The "father" of Dylan Dog, Tiziano Sclavi, who lives with his wife, seven dogs and two cats in in the countryside in Venegono Superiore, launches an appeal to raise funds to provide care to dogs and cats suffering from cardiopulmonary diseases .
The creator of Dylan Dog and a group of volunteers is to create the “Otto Foundation” that has the ambitious goal of becoming one of the first independent organism for scientific research of cardiopulmonary diseases of dogs and cats.
"My wife and I dedicate ourselves for years and now almost exclusively to the care and protection of animals," writes Tiziano Sclavi latest issue of Dylan Dog. "One of the dreams that we love more is the Otto Foundation - continues - a project still in progress, which is named after our beloved little dachshund."
At the head of the Foundation will be Dr Roberto Santilli, veterinary cardiologist of international renown of the Clinica Veterinaria Malpensa, assisted by the chief of cardiovascular intensive care Manuela Perego and the chief of the anesthetisia unit Alberto Perini.

Meanwhile, however, the future Foundation is already operating: "We funded the installation of a pacemaker in Boris and Rex, a complex surgical repair (succlavian-pulmonary bypass)  that saved a puppy Bulldog French, Camillo ", a pulmonary balloon valvuloplastic in Danny and Zora, a reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract in Flo and very recently a PDA occlusion with an ACDO in Benny .
 

Committee secretary of the Foundation will be Dr. Angelo Mascheroni. Recently the foundation made available to the department of cardiology of Clinica Veterinaria Malpensa a pulmonary bypass device to allow the execution of complex cardio-surgery interventions.
For information and donations write to Dr. Angelo Mascheroni, address: alukas100@yahoo.com
