Yesterday Colin and I took our three cavaliers to Ohio state university for a cardiology re-evaluation. It turned out to be a nice adventure for all three. Geordie needed an x-ray, and Dr. B. (cardiologist), and his two students offered to keep all three for 1-2 hours so that we could go out to lunch and do a little sight-seeing.
When we returned, we were told that our cavaliers stayed in the break room with the vets and vet students, and lots of student listened to their hearts, especially to Chocolate's because a grade 1 murmur is difficult to hear.
All three dogs were relaxed and happy when returned to us. India is age 5.5 and heart clear, Chocolate is turning 7 and is still grade 1. Geordie's heart has advanced to grade 5 murmur, but he shows absolutely no signs of congestive heart failure or severe heart enlargement. We've been told what to watch for and what to do, so I feel more secure in knowing what possible scenarios to expect and what immediate action to take.:flwr:
All three cavaliers slept soundly during the 2.5 hour drive home from OSU, and this morning they're having a long sleep in after breakfast.:slp::slp::slp:
