Well, it's been awhile since my last entry. Lots going on, where to start? Last August I had another appt with Internist in C Springs. Told me that my heart was getting larger - started me on Atenolol - while freaking out my human who was distressed about my heart worsening. Later, I learned she called the vet school in Ft. Collins CO to see about getting me into see a Cardiologist. We got in and were told that my heart hadn't gotten larger at all - changed my Atenolol to twice daily - and sent me on my way. 3-month check-up was holding on - 6-month check up was still going strong. Heart-wall thickening has lessened.
Bad news: I have IBD. Better than Lymphoma, but still not good. I am now down to 13 lbs and holding. Now I get pills jammed down my throat twice a day, some chemo drugs to boot, Atenolol, Enalapril, Prednisone, wow - does the list end? Yes, I think that's it. I can't keep up. I know when she's coming now...
I'm back in AZ after being in CO for the past 9 months. Guess my human felt bad about not spending time with me especially as I get older. So, here I am, back in the cave, windows shut, A/C crankin', and hating the triple digit heat. Anyone heading to CO soon, can I hitch a ride?
Old age is a witch. My brother Bacio, canine variety, just had his spleen removed due to a tumor. He's 13. Between my HCM, IBD, his tumor, Kenzo's distressed ligament problems, Skeet's UTI, you'd think we were living in a nursing home.
June echo report is good! I went all the way to Colorado for my test! There is a great heart doctor there who treats me very special!
I can wait another year for my next test!
Although, I think a teeth cleaning is on the horizon. I hate going to the dentist! He must be very careful and it could be a potentially dangerous procedure, but my heart is strong and doing well, I can handle it!
Weight check: 17lbs! Yahoooo! Echo: holding on, pretty much the same finding as my six month check up. I don't have to have another one for another year! But, this time, I will not be going to the place I went for this echo, they really weren't very organized and didn't treat my Mom very well. You would think after spending almost 800.00 they would treat my Mom much better! Not only that, but since they are an ER they made me wait several hours for my procedure - and I had an appt! I didn't handle it very well at all - I was very agitated and just wanted my Mommy!
