Pink Poodle

The other week Lucas went up to the University of Florida for his DCM screening. Some of the tests they were going to do, they did not do. Their findings were that he has a leaky heart valve. They did not find evidence of DCM because of the way the left ventricle contracts. No arrhythmia. They won't rule out DCM though because of the breed. They said the medicine he's on now is also good for treating the leaky heart valve. He is still supposed to do a cardio workup every 6 months. Next time I will either be bringing him back up there for his checkup or to a cardiologist. The last time I had it done at my vets office. They set up appointments for specialists to come in to do the tests, then send the findings out to a specialists to read. I'm not trusting them anymore. For some things I can still do that, but for others, like Lucas' heart, it's not worth saving the extra money. I have been told by both the UF vets and my own, that the leaky heart valve is better to have than DCM. I'll take that as a good thing.

I gave Holly and Lucas a couple new toys this week. I should say just Holly, as she steals them all in the end. The rescue guy came by with his 2 dogs this week and they shared Holly's pink poodle. Holly had already taken the nose and part of the ears off.

Little pest Gomez. When he gets on a roll, he just won't leave you alone.

This is 3 years old but I wanted to share for the upcoming Easter holiday.

Well I hope everyone has a great week!
