Thanks For All Your Prayers!
Today I went for my appointment to see the Vet. I had never been to this office before. I was so glad it was a woman. I am a Ladies Man! MOL!
First of all, when they called my name, Mama took me back, and they first wanted to weigh me. Mama took me out and put me on the scale, and I looked back at her! Now wait a sec, Mama I don't want anyone to know how much I weigh, but it was too late, grrrrrr. I weighed 12 pounds. Then I rushed back in my crate. Everyone got a little laugh when they saw me do that.
When the Vet came in, she looked in the crate, and said to me, no pretty boy, hidding under your blanket is not going to help! I said under my breath, DARN! I atleast tried!
Mama told the Vet my symptoms and then she took me out of my crate and started to check me over. She felt my tummy, kidneys, throat, felt my chest, then listened to my heart and lungs.
She said to Mama my lungs sound pretty good, just a little raspy, but not bad. She wanted to do some bloodwork, to rule out Heartworms, Diabetes, and Feline Lekimia. And Ask Mama to come back in hour. Mama had a hard time leaving me, but she did.
Mama came back, and the Vet called her back. She told us, well I have ruled out Heart worms and Feline Lekimia, which Mama was thrilled about. She did say my blood level for Diabetes was a little high, but most likely due to stress, so not to worry about it. The Vet knew we had a limit and could not afford much, but she went ahead and did an x ray, which showed I had lots of fluid in my belly. That my heart was laying down. She dianoised me with heart problems, and put me on Lasix, for the fluid, and Enalaprilnfor my heart. She also gave Mama some Amoxicillan to take. For me to come back in 1 week for a re-check.
The Vet didn't charge us for a Vet Visit. They were super nice! She did mention she wanted to do further testing on my heart, using an Ultra Sound to start off with to see how strong the heart muscles are.
Also wanted to test for a couple other things, FIP and other Corinna Viruses. And also Stomach Cancer.
When we got home I was more than ready to come out of my crate! Boy Howdy, did I ever! MOL!
Thank You My Friends for all your prayers! So we know I have heart problems. It is just going from here now.
Love,
Ollie |  |  |  |  |
