Well, we won't really know the outcome for quite some time I'd guess.... they haven't come to any conclusions as to the cause of the enlarged heart, but she is showing no signs of cardiac distress or symptoms of heart disease - - her bloodwork looks good and they say that it's POSSIBLE that her "big heart" is "normal for her"... as she is the tiniest Yorkie they say they've seen so have nothing to compare it to. So it's a bit of a "wait and see" game with the heart.

As for her lungs - - she is improving..... she will likely be on meds indefinitely for the collapsing mainstem bronchi, and reacts as though she is having an asthma attack sometimes as a result.... but again, she is improving!

Her 2nd bile acid test came back perfectly normal so the doctors' concerns regarding the possibility of a liver shunt, are no longer....

YAY YAY YAY!!
