I'd try to keep her quiet. Maybe crate rest? I few walks with Momma outside, if the weather there is as good here. I think a cardiologist is a great idea. Just a thought; why not get the referral now from your general vet? Let the expert due another ECG if he is so inclined. I guess for me, I would be so scared, that even if in three days time the ecg is normal, I'd still want to see a specialist. I'm sure with all the research you've done, you don't want to speculate on what it could be.

Skipping beats can be indicative of a few conditions.

Sending lots of ((((((((Hugs)))))))) your way. You and Chelsea will be in my thoughts and prayers today.

I'm normally just like you two - I should have insisted on a referral right away, and normally I would have. No excuses, I just haven't been thinking clearly. I definitely want her seen by a specialist. I'm terrified of what the next ECG might show. Before, I was praying it would be normal...now, I'm not sure. As Ann mentioned yesterday, Chelsea could have a normal ECG reading and still have underlying problems.

I have her confined to small area of the house (kitchen/dining) to try to keep her quieter. I put all the pups together so that she wouldn't get stressed being alone. She was like her normal self again last night....I pray that continues.
