I do hope your vet is mistaken and the University doctor will give you a better prognosis.
Even if you knew you were opening your heart and home to Lilly with her heart condition, it must have came as a huge shock at how serious your vet seems to think her condition is. I'm so sorry that you are made to worry so much more than you ever imagined.
Have you been in contact with Slyvan's vet and get Lilly's entire record from them? If you haven't, get all her records (lab tests too if there was any done) to help the new vet get a better picture of her health.
I will be praying that your vet is proven to have made an error in his diagnosis and that Lilly will have a long and happy life with you.
I'm so proud of you to be seeking a second opinion and at a University Veterinary School to boot! As others said medical technology in the veterinary field has taken leaps and bound in the last decade and Lilly will be under the best care you can provide for her.
Bless you both! |
