Bevd Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 I've had a call from the cardiologist. It seems that the called her in tonight, rather than waiting for tomorrow. That's not very good really is it. Actually, nothing is very good about this situation. I don't even want to type some of the stuff that was said during our conversation this evening but nothing is good. Actually, there was a good thing - when Emily (cardiologist) was told that Darcy had survived Osteo for 34 months thus far, she thought someone had got their figures wrong - so she checked the notes and found that nobody had got their figures wrong However, now Darcy has to deal with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and she's going to start on a coctail of drugs tonight with a view to her coming home late on tomorrow. If the drugs don't work, we're in a bad place. If the drugs do work, we're still in a bad place to be perfectly frank. But this is a dog who has battled hard to live and she has to be given the chance to live (a good quality of life) for as long as she can.

MP_the4pack Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Is pimobendan one of the meds she was put on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goofydog Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Good news is the clinic had the insight to go ahead and bring the cards doc in. Better news is that Darcy has a proven track record of telling the Fates just what she thinks of them! It sounds like she is in good hands and they will find the right med or combo of meds to make sure Darcy is around for a long time. Fingers and paws crossed for Darcy to be able to come home tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevd Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Is pimobendan one of the meds she was put on? I don't know. She phoned me at 8.50pm and said she was going to start her on a number of drugs so I'll find out what they are tomorrow when we bring her home.

Madeara Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Gosh Bev I know how you feel we go through this with the hopes that we can win the battle. Some can go on for a long time like Winslow and your Darcy. She hasn't suffered and as you said "she has to be given the chance to live (a good quality of life) for as long as she can." and you will do that. Love her and love yourself for trying. You are a great Mom and your doggies are so lucky to have you.

MP_the4pack Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 My Pearl had a bad valve, so it's a different problem. But she was put on pimobendan which is a canine, not human drug. It can actually improve the heart. So I'm hoping for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
