Bevd Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 The cardiologist just phoned (and I nearly keeled with fright) but she was just phoning to give me an update. From the notes that I took - she's 'quite bright' (well, she's rarely anything other than either asleep or quite bright so thats fine ) and she seems to be walking OK (for her). She's not got any fluid in her lungs and this GOOD ( ) so she is just on heart medication, not diuretics at this time. We can go and collect her at 6pm and we will - at that point - be given a lot of information on how to monitor her etc. She also has a provisional appointment for Monday 13th September to go back to the hospital and stay with them for a 24 heart monitor thingy. Emily still can't say what will happen or when because as she explained, she's had some dogs whos condition has seemed mild and yet they have died very quickly and she's had others whos condition has looked really really awful and they've gone on for a long while. No two dogs will be the same so we'll just have to deal with this situation day by day Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

Bevd Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Darcy is back in residence (Sorry for late update but the phone hasn't stopped since we got in about 3 hours ago) It seems that nothing about Darcy is 'normal' and nothing about her is anything you'd see in any veterinary textbook The cardiologist agrees with me now, that Darcy is a 'panty dog' and whereas normally, she'd be looking for me to check that darcys breathing rate does not go above 25 breaths per minute, Darcys is NEVER anywhere near as low as that and has been pretty constant at about 55-60 So she re-examined her with xrays this morning and even with that silly panty rate, there is definately no fluid in her chest or anywhere else it shouldn't be. She's just....Darcy We have to monitor her breathing rate over the next day or so and then we can work out what is really normal for her once she's on her home environment. She has two medications - Vetmedin and Enacard, both to be given twice a day. We have an emergency supply of Frusemide to be used if we've had to phone either the specialist or our own vet and they tell us to give it to her. It seems that when she was in hospital, the staff used a sling to get Darcy up and take her for toilet breaks. I asked Emily if this was something to do with her heart and she said "no, its because she has three legs". OMG. Can you imagine? Darcy would have LOVED that - all that fuss, and being helped outside by two nurses who remained with her whilst she weed and then aided her back to her bed. Jeez - they will have turned her into a diva. Oh, wait.... Once I'd stopped snorting, Emily did say that they were a bit soft there So. we'll see what happens Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.
