My little Huey, who has the heart murmur, had a BUN of 31 on this last blood test. The week before it was 35 - they rechecked it. All other blood test results were normal. He's on lasix, enalapril, and theophylline for the murmur. The vet told me the high end of normal was 27 so 31 isn't really that...

I feel he's confident.....there are several doctors at the practice I go to and I've been pleased with all of them over the last 20 years or so. I think he's just taking the conservative approach right now. I asked him about an x-ray and he said x-rays do not always show everything....arthritis will...

Hello.....my little Huey, who will be 12 this coming May, was diagnosed yesterday with a luxating patella in his left rear leg. We had the right rear leg operated on in 04 so that one is doing great. He's been favoring his left leg for a few weeks now and I wasn't sure it was the patella or is he ha...

Animals were not originally given to us for food.....yes, God gave us dominion over them but they were not used as food until sin came into the world. In the Garden of Eden, before the fall, animals were not eaten. They were named by Adam and taken care of, but not eaten.

first check up since starting the heart meds two weeks ago. Blood pressure was good, blood test results were all good and ECG showed good, strong heart beats.....so I was really pleased. The vet was real happy that Huey was doing so well. Huey hasn't had any episodes since he's been on the meds. He'...

no episodes or even near episodes since last Tuesday. He's had no reactions to his meds either. He goes to his regular vet next Wednesday for a checkup, blood test, ECG, blood pressure check. Hopefully they won't find any adverse reactions going on. But so far, he's just great - his usual self.

Thanks Traci.....Huey is doing fine so far. No episodes and no side effects, yet, from medications. I know the meds are not a cure for his heart issues but we're hoping to buy a couple years or more on his life. Right now, though I'm just hoping he'll have a normal life. I'll keep you posted on how ...

Huey had his echocardiagram today.....I wasn't comfortable waiting till next week. He hasn't had any more episodes and did fine with the test. It showed that the valve on the side of the heart that pumps blood back out into the body isn't closing right.....one flap doesn't close all the way and the ...

He was on our bed...made a couple little coughs and then gradually kind of collapsed. He urinated too. Lasted about 50 seconds then he was fine. I stayed home with him this morning - just couldn't leave him so soon after an episode. He's been fine since, went outside, ate his treat, etc. He has an a...

Blood work results were all good too - he had that done last week. Guess I forgot to post that info.
