Guest Tenderhearts Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Well now that I completely did the Evelyn Wood speed reading course through all nine pages of this thread, may I add my prayers and wishes that the lovely and most unique Darcy continues to do well! My vet told me when I was working for him that the heart is one of the most amazing organs for compensating, and he was right. You might recall that Raven was diagnosed with advanced heart failure at age 12 when I took her in for the last time, and immediately started on furosemide and generic enacard. The vet said we might have 1 good year with her on the meds. My sweet little old lady crossed over the bridge at age 16 1/2, 4 1/2 years after she was given a year. She did have the last laugh, as did many of my dogs. Biscuit had heart damage from the heavy heartworm infestation at age 4, and was predicted to have a shorter life span because of that. She passed this March at age 15. My brother also has dilated cardiomyopathy, which was diagnosed after it was learned he had a 'silent' heart attack at age 40. He's done very well on medication, and that was 6 years ago he was diagnosed. Sending hugs to you from across the pond, and lots of kisses for Darcy! :grouphug <------------for you :kiss2 :kiss2<-----------for Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeylasMom Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Glad to hear Darcy continues to do well. When is her cardiologist appointment, so we can all be waiting on pins and needles to hear what he says???

Thanks for that It's very encouraging indeed Glad to hear Darcy continues to do well. When is her cardiologist appointment, so we can all be waiting on pins and needles to hear what he says??? She's seeing the cardiologist again on Monday 13th and staying overnight for a 24 hour heart monitor thingy. So I suspect that we will see her (the cardiologist) both on the Monday and on the Tuesday. Darcy is just being her usual self (so you know what that means.... ) Actually, I think she's trying it on a bit because sometimes she doesn't wish to eat what we give her....but will eat it off a spoon. I am suddenly transported back 34 months But I am playing along nicely I get a horror now and again about the fact that she could just erm.....keel over. But then I try to remember that the same can happen to any dog really and I can't go around worrying about it. But now and again, the thought creeps in and I have to bang it on the head and shove it out again. We are continuing to moniter her breathing rates and heart rates and there is no pattern whatsoever. How very Darcy Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.
