A New York animal shelter is seeking donations of Viagra to treat a pit bull with a heart condition. Staff members at the Little Shelter Animal Rescue and Adoption Center in Huntington, on Long Island, say 6-year-old Ingrid needs two of the little blue pills every day or she will risk heart failure. They said a vet suggested it.
The pills cost about $10 apiece, and the shelter has been asking Viagra users to pitch in and donate their unused pills.
Viagra was originally developed as a heart medication but is now used mainly by men to give their sex lives a boost.
One woman donated her husband’s stash to the dog because she suspected he was having an affair.
