    Happy Bassett update!!

    We just came home from the vet's from a checkup. The vet is VERY pleased about Bassett. When I first took Bassett in, the vet couldn't hear any "airway noise" because her chest was so filled with fluid. Today, she was able to hear "airway noise" quite far down her chest, and she was really impressed. It almost seemed like she was pleasantly suprised! Also, Bassett's heart rate has slowed quite a bit (it was crazy when she first went in) and her breathing isn't laboured. I have to take her back in two weeks for another xray and blood pressure, and, if need be at that time, a drain. But - no drain today, and that's good news!!

    It was so funny though - as soon as the vet walked in, Bassett actually cringed and put her ears back, like "oh... you.. " The vet kinda shrugged like yeah, that happens! But I can tell.. she likes Bassett a lot and Bassett is getting more used to going in for checkups. She's such a good girl!!

    So, here is a happy story amongst all the bleak. Thanks for all your continiued prayers and support

    Perfect timing! I was thinking in the middle of the night last night that I should ask for an update. So glad to hear Bassett is doing well!! Here's to you Bassett, your Mommy and me love you so much!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Yeah, good kitty news!!! I'm so glad the pills are working for Bassett. Hopefully everything will check out ok in two weeks and there won't have to be anymore drains.

    Yeah, Bassett! Hugs and smoochies to you!

    That's great news Naomi! I've been thinking about Bassett lately and it's so good to hear this! Here's hoping the next check up will be as good as this!
