Hi,
As you know from our "bad news" thread from friday i took Rubes for chest x-rays today.She's home but a bit spaced out.The results are that her heart is enlarged left & right,he showed me the xrays & where there should be gaps there isnt & you could clearly see her heart lying ontop of her chest wall,Its round instead of elongated.If id brought her in with a cough he'd have diagnosed "being in heart failure" but she hasnt a cough so isnt.He's taken a blood test,then he will check the meds he's going to start her on will be ok with gaberpentin & then will ring me.He's happy to refer to a cardiologist at any time.
Ive not to wrap her in cotton wool& walk her as normal.
thoughts or advice please?
