LBass Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 What an unnerving experience for you and for Chase. It sounds as if you've got a great vet and that makes dealing with medical mysteries somewhat less stressful. Having dealt with seizures, a stroke, and vestibular disease in 3 of my animals, I wish Chase a swift and uneventful recovery and nice treatable diagnosis. --Lucy Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.

ElizabethGPAPS Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Simon had a similar episode over the summer: Thread He recovered fine in a few hours and hasn't had an issue since. I hope the same for your boy! Edited to say - Oh, I just looked him up and see that he's not even 5 yet...so geriatric stuff is very unlikely. It does sound vestibular, though.

Tracey Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Dr. Matz is still finishing up her surgeries for the day. Receptionist said she has a stack of test results on her desk to go through and I imagine Chase's are among them. So we wait....

Tracey Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Sorry to keep you all hanging. I got a message from the vet about 1:00 pm and have been trying to connect with her to discuss further. First of all his blood work looked "great" she said. Only thing, which isn't even a thing, was his red blood count was a little high, 62, but she said that was normal "for a Greyhound". As for his heart, she said the EKG definitely captured the irregular beats and that they were atrial premature transmissions which means they originated at the top portion of his heart. She said they weren't frequent enough to be causing clinical disease but if he had had a run of them during his episode on Wednesday it could have been the cause of it. So she wants to go ahead with the ultrasound on Monday to get a better look at his heart. They have a radiologist coming in and this is all he does so Chase should be in good hands. We're supposed to drop him off around 10 on Monday morning and pick him up in the afternoon. We still have some additional questions for Dr. Matz so we're waiting for a call back from her, but that's what we know right now. Thanks for all the continued good thoughts; keep them coming! By the way, Chase is totally fine today. He's snuggled on the couch between me and Jason right now with his head on my leg. That's why his second name is Cuddles. :-* Quote ...............Chase (FTH Smooth Talker), Morgan (Cata), Reggie (Gable Caney), Rufus (Reward RJ). Fosters check in, but they don't check out.

Tracey Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Our awesome vet called us about 8:30 Friday night and patiently answered all our questions. We just wanted to make sure this ultrasound was the next logical step and now feel that it is. I'm supposed to drop him off by 9 am this morning and pick him up sometime this afternoon. Just to let you know, it may be sometime tonight before I can update. Additionally, the radiologist's report probably won't be until tomorrow, so I may not get the full scoop until Tuesday night or sometime Wednesday. In the meantime, lots of good thoughts for a "good looking heart" would be greatly appreciated!!!
