Something is wrong with Taz, New Question Post #39

[4 Dog Mother]

Oh that is sad to hear about Taz. I hope that the vet will be able to find out what is wrong and easily find a "fix".

[Ginger's Mom]

Thank you very much everyone. We are home (actually I am at work now). The vet tested for everything, liver, lung, thyroid, glucose, heartworm, Lyme, Rocky Mountain Fever, and one other tick borne illness that I am not familiar with, and moved pulled and palpatated every part of his little body. It was all negative. Which means it is most likely his heart, and he may have moved into congestive heart failure. I have made an appointment with a cardiologist for 2:00 on Monday, if I cannot get him to start eating or drinking before that I can take him to the emergency room at the cardiology hospital. I did insist on them giving him sub-q's this morning, hoping that it would perk him up. It hadn't as of 12:30 this afternoon. So we will see. Once I get him to the cardiologist I am hoping there is some medication they can put him on to help him.

Anyway, thank you again. I will keep you informed.

our thoughts are with you.... poor lil guy.... ((hugs))

Oh no!! Poor Taz. Prayers coming from the crew here that whatever is going on with him is treatable. Hang in there and think positive!

[Ginger's Mom]

Thank you again. I am actually feeling a little better. The rehydration seems to have helped. He was willing to go for a walk when I got home from work, then took a big drink when he came in and ate a small dinner (I didn't want to give him too much). At least at this point I feel like he will be alright until we get to the cardiologist on Monday. *sigh of relief*

Oh no. I hope the little guy gets better.
Prayers for you and lil Taz.

Oh gosh, Joyce, how scary!

Here's to hoping little Taz man's issues are all fixed soon. Please keep us updated.

So sorry that Taz is feeling so poorly. This update does indeed sound
so much better for him. I hope he stays good through the weekend too.
