Not a good morning

Grhndad Dec 11, 2009 05:36 PM

Not this morning. Miss Pansy went out about 6:30 and threw up big time. Moving slower than slow motion. she threw up again and finally came into the house. She laid down not moving at all. I tried to give her her meds and she didn't even want it. Turned up her nose at the peanut butter something she never does.

Called the vet and he wanted me to bring her in. She wouldn't get up to go out. Had to carry her out to the van and from the van into the doc's office. She has lost 5 lbs in the last week even though she is eating like normal. Her temp was on the high side of normal and slightly dehydrated.

The doc kept her to do blood work and take some x-rays.

Janie and I just got back from the vets office, Pansy is still there getting some fluids. She has an enlargement of the right side of her heart and also a mass very close to the front of the heart or may be vena-cava, an enlargement of the artery going to the heart. Just doesn't know. As he said we are just buying time now. May be two days or two weeks.

We will pick her up around 2:00 this afternoon.

Please keep my "Baby Girl" in your thoughts and prayers.

Adopting one greyhound will not change the world, but the world will change for that one greyhound.

Dogs and cats come into our lives, and too quickly go leaving pawprints on our hearts, and we will never be quite the same again.
