I took Penny in for a checkup yesterday. Seems she has a kidney infection so now she is on antibiotics. She did not want to be there for sure. She has lost a few ounces. She now weighs 9.3 lbs. Dr. Carroll said the cataracts were fairly normal for a dog of her age and overall she seemed to be doing okay. Her heart murmur is graded on a scale of 1-6 and hers is now at a 5. Penny's heart was racing so fast while she was there it took her a while to get a reading on it. She said that when it's that bad a 5 or 6 were about the same. They didn't give her any booster shots because of her age and the fact that she is NEVER boarded. Her Rabies is up to date and that is the most important one since it is required for travel or anything like that.
She is doing good today. She took her antibiotics (liquid of course) like a little trooper and is sleeping soundly on my legs. She starts on heart medication twice a day later this week. The vet had to contract it to a lab that liquefies them for her. You cannot get a pill down her no matter what you do. I was hoping she wouldn't have to take the heart medicine but if it will help her even a little I am willing to do it.
So extra love an hugs for my baby.
