We saw a cardiac Dr at Tufts today. She was very nice. She was not the one I was scheduled to see but that one had a family emergency and I was given the option of putting off the appt till tomorrow and I did not want to do that.
The test came back negative for Chagus. I asked if it were possible the test was wrong. They said no, so I do not have to retest or to test Edge. They did a kidney function test and everything came back normal. So he remains on the meds and we up the elanapril to 2x day. He can do anything he wants to do. Short of letting him run full out I will see what he is up for. He is social in the house and not hiding behind the furniture. He is begging for my food(not his). I am getting him to eat his food by mixing it with my homemade chicken soup. He loves it, but it still does not always mean he will eat without coaxing. He picks up the ball at night and harasses me in the house. He is whining right now which usually in the past means he is bored and he is not getting enough exercise. So tomorrow I will let him work a little.
His prognosis remains the same. Severe heart disease and it will kill him eventually and they dont' think he has a very long life ahead of him. If he dies while working sheep then what better way for him to go doing something we both love.
He has a huge heart and might have killed himself for me at Finals. I was lucky he did not die in the arena. What a great boy! I would take a clone in a heartbeat. He has always been an easy dog in every way. I hope I have some quality time with him.
