ClazUK Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Sorry Margaret, not kept up (been having a few scary dog health issues today, too ) but my vet in Sileby, Leics, can do the scan there if you'd consider the journey. If you like I could go with you. The diuretics will help get the swelling down fast but he might be a bit leaky in the house as he'll need to pee more. Please give His Royal Gorjussness a big hug from me x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyMalc Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Continued good thoughts for Spike! :wub: If it's any help at all, my "oldie", bless his soul, was diagnosed with some kind of heart condition when he was 7, and the vet wasn't at all optimistic that he'd live another year. He didn't - he lived for another 9 years and 10 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houndzrus Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 How's Spike doing today? Thanks for asking, he seems a bit brighter. Still sleeping a lot (but he's always done that ) He's eating okay and he only woke twice last night, so he's not in so much discomfort as the past few nights. Thanks for the offer Claire, I have decided to try to change his appointment to see the nice vet that i saw on Monday. Once I have some more info I can make a proper decision about what to do. Thanks for your suggestion too Alex A big thank you to everyone for checking in on him. It really does help. If I can get through today and tomorrow I will be ok because after that Keith and I are on leave until the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let Spike hear you say that - you know he will save anything up until Christmas Day call out if he does!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
