Good news it’s not enlarged, but I thought the ex-rays were being done by the cardio vet
Vet[quote author=Izzie link=topic=15040.msg274570#msg274570 date=1267797944]
Xrays have shown nothing sinister, heart looks fine, not enlarged.Picking her up at 4, and vet is going to ring cardio to get an appointment for next week
[/quote]March 5, 2010 at 8:48 pm #87864IzzieMemberHe asked my vet to get them done before the scan, so she went in today
Cardio vet will get the xrays along with a referral letter from the vets.
He looked at her jugular pusle today and said that it wasnt the jugular vein pulsating, was the corotic artery (sp?) pulsating.
Got the scan on Tues morning, she been very quiet tonight, slept since we got home and just got up.
March 5, 2010 at 9:18 pm #87865ValMemberCorotic artery :surrender: thats a totally different path if that is narrowing or got something in it that could cause her to be tired.
Roll on Tuesday Good Luck

He had to give her a GA, as she wouldnt stop wiggling under a light sedation but had been fine there, no white gums, etc.
This vet has really kicked in a gear, been absolutely brilliant, going off asking loads of experienced vets around the world, speaking with vets in the area he knows and obviously the cardio vet as well. Shame Livia hates him ::)
March 6, 2010 at 6:57 pm #87867Diesel73MemberAm so sooo keeping my fingers crossed for her Izz. :-\
March 6, 2010 at 7:46 pm #87868*Lassie*MemberPaws crossed for Tuesday :ok:
March 9, 2010 at 2:38 pm #87869IzzieMemberHeart scan has shown nothing new. Mitral valve dysplacia still there, Cardio vet is as confused as us, but is making some recommendations on the next tests we do and asked me to keep a diary of when she goes down, heart rate, breathing rate how long it take for her to recover, etc.
Back to sqaure one now :-\

[/quote]March 9, 2010 at 3:12 pm #87872IzzieMemberSomething is wrong with her back leg as well, a couple of times when she tried to sit, she jumps up and holds the leg up for a couple of mins, then all is fine, she did it at the cardio vets and he went over over with a fine tooth comb and found nothing there :-\
She has so many bald pathes now too, poor lass
March 9, 2010 at 6:55 pm #87873Diesel73MemberOhno……… Jessgirl, come on, time to get a grip and recover girl, this is becoming scary :-\ . So sorry to hear you still don’t know what is wrong Izz :-* .
Still keeping fingers crossed for you.March 12, 2010 at 5:10 pm #87874IzzieMemberCushings Negative, Addisons Negative, Coombs Negative.
She had a bad episode this morning, started about 11am, heart rate went down to 40 bpm, rushed to the vets by 1pm becuase she wasnt getting any better.
Walk in she flat, vet walks in she fine.
Done thyroid tests and another test (stress type thing) he kept her in for a couple of hours to see if she goes down there, nothing
Getting people breathing down my neck to have her hospitalised, this has been discussed at length today and we are going to see what the results are like on Monday.
She home and fine
