Cosette

[nekosensei]

Today, I took Cosette in for her three month appointment to have her kidneys checked. During the exam, the vet heard a heart murmur. She said that it sounded as if she were skipping beats. At first, they thought that her blood pressure was high and that that was putting strain on her heart. They tested her and her blood pressure turned out to be normal. It might have been that she was overly freaked out today, but they want to investigate this more because this is something new; they've never heard a heart murmur out of her before. That and heart problems can make her kidney issues worse. I'm going to have to take her back to the vet in the next couple of weeks-- as soon as Monday if the cardiologist is available-- and have an ultrasound done on her heart. Oh...and she also needs to give a urine sample anyway. They tried getting one out of her today, but her bladder was empty.

Great...just great. I really needed something else to go wrong this week....

Did they say anything about anemia? Sebastian developed a heart murmur and I thought it was because he was anemic because of the kidney disease. We had to give him a hormone injection for it.

Well, they drew blood. I suppose that, if it is anemia, I'll find when they call me with the results tomorrow.

Fingers crossed that everything comes out alright...

I hope Cosette gets better. That sounds terrible.
