Sparky's Saga/Update #74

[Asiel]

How's Sparky doing Pomtzu? Any change yet? Humans can live long lives with heart murmurs, hopefully dogs are the same.

He seems a little perkier - maybe the cooler weather is helping too - altho the heat never really bothered him much.

I'm hoping he'll do good - it's just that the heart murmur came on so suddenly that has me concerned - and his vet too. I just have to watch him more closely for a while, and if I notice any changes, then I have to take him in before he is due to go back in 6 months.

Myndi has never had a problem with hers, and no advancement from the time it was diagnosed, till now. She was diagnosed at level 3 and remains at level 3, with no fluid build up, no cough, no need for meds. She's a tough little cookie ,and I'm hoping Sparky will follow in big sister's footsteps. She's 13 and he's 10.

Probably will be fine. Maybe it will settle down after some rest and extra love and it won't bother him again for a long while. Aging sucks not only for us but for the furballs too....my fingers are still crossed, can't seem to straighten them out....lol. Joshing, I'm praying he'll show he can keep up with big sis.

Ellie, I just want you to know that I feel like I am in your shoes because I love your little ones too. It has to be so hard for you. I'm thinking about all of you daily and saying some prayers for all of you. Kisses to both of them from me please and hugs to you.

Terry - thank you so much. That really means so much to me.

There was no noticeable change in Myndi, since it was the blood test that showed the thyroid issue had progressed. I'm thinking that the increased med will take care of that. We'll see with the next blood test in 6 months.

Sparky seems a little perkier, but not as much as I'd like him to be. I just have to keep a closer watch on him, but so far, he hasn't been coughing any more, so that's a good thing!

PT prayers do work wonders.

So how is our Sparky today? Any perkier?

Thanks for asking Mary - he seems somewhat better. There's nothing wrong with that boy's appetite tho. I was sitting here eating a plate of diced up cantaloupe, so of course he had to have what I was eating. A piece for me - a piece for Sparky - a piece for me - and back and forth till it was gone. That was his dessert. Is he spoiled?? - of course not.
