Hi all,
We were able to gather all the funds up for the visit to the Cardiologist.
Well, we are back home. I'm exhausted and such a rush of relief as well.
Mr. Whiskers is in pretty good health according to the Cardiologist.
They did Ultrasound, EKG, EEG, Echocardiogram, and check his blood again. When he was first seen he was anemic as this was due to fleas. Cardiologist stated that because Iwas quick intreating himright awayit had a lot to do with him getting better. Hehas recovered nicely as I gave him supplements for his anemic problem and picked out the fleas also put on flea meds. He had hot spots when rescued as this was treated as well.
So in the short time in rescue he has a came a long ways health wise.
(I hope this makes sense to you).
Here is the findings/special instructions:
Mr. Whiskers does not have underlying heart disease as the cause of the murmur (which comes and goes with excitement and a high heart rate), The murmur appears to be benign. Mr. Whiskers has a very small leak of the tricuspid valve - this may be normal for him or may be due to a mild abnormality that shouldn't worsen. In rare cases, this is an indication of severe heart disease that will develop (this cannot be predicted). If an abnormal rhythm is heard in the future, then Mr. Whiskers should be re-evaluated, otherwise at this time, he does not have evidence of heart disease.
I'm so relieved about this.
While he was there all the staff fell in love with him and his big blue eyes.Everyone therestated he was a peoples'cat. They wanted to take him home but they knew better.
I'm very impressed with this clinic/hospital. Very nice atmosphere and cleannot dinghy looking. I know some places you go to the rooms are puny not there it's not. They have refreshments on hand available to their clients. Very caring bunch of people on staff.
They have many Vets on hand for many types of diseases and specialties. They treat fromrodents all the way up to livestock and marine life. They even have an ambulance on hand if needed.
(Yes, nice andI saw it).
Also,24 hour emergency services. If I need to take a rescue or personal I will gothrough theiremergency care.
They work with rescues and give discounts. I told them I would help advertise getting them out there. Their office has only been there for 3 years. So it is still somewhat new.
Since I told them I had not heard of them they explained this to me. I told them I get tired running all over the place to different Vets that do different things. Thankful they are closer to me than the others. The costs are the same too.
I certainly recommend them toeveryone regardless of where you live in WA. It's worth the drive!
