January 31, 2018Lisa Vanderpump’s dog, Giggy, faced a health scare while on vacation with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and her husband, Ken Todd.
Giggy became ill Monday night while the family was on vacation in Aspen, Colorado, Vanderpump’s daughter, Pandora, tells PEOPLE.
“Giggy, as many dogs are, was affected by the altitude,” Pandora says. “Unbeknownst to us, he had a slight chest infection which exacerbated his symptoms.”
