Twiga - Feeling better.........
I TOOK TWIGA TO THE VET LAST NIGHT (10JAN08) and just got test results - after eliminating everything negative, she probably has cardiomyopathy . Heart disease. I will know to what degree next week when she goes in for x-rays - please think happy , positive thoughts for her.
She is only 7 yrs old.
TWIGA UPDATE: Test results from the specialist on Monday.
Well it's good news and bad news.
Good news (I guess) is there is only a small opening in the left ventrical of her heart causing a small leak, but it is not serious. The bad news is, this is not why she is losing weight and they want to do an abdominal ultrasound on other internal organs, and possibly more blood work.
My vet is on vacation this week - how dare her :-) So I will wait to talk with her next Thursday for her advice - I hate the waiting stuff.....
You always wonder just how far to take these things and how much to put your beloved pet through. Any advice you have would be appreciated. The cost will also become an issue........
Thank you all so much for all the comments, emails, kind words and prayers. I just cant express how much I appreciate it. So until next week, Twiga seems to at least be feeling a little better. xxoo
