When do you get the test results for Addisons? (in a nut shell, btw, Addisons is the 'opposite' of what Wylie has, which is Cushings; Addisons is generally very manageable)
I can also tell you about dogs and pacemakers. I used to work in the pacer/defib (implantable) sales field - and when we had 'short-dated' pacemakers (about to expire for human use, but still LOTS of battery life left)...we could donate them to Vet Hospitals so they could use them for the animals. I would be asked occasionally to come check their pacemakers (with my special computer) for follow-up - and I can tell you these dogs do wonderfully with pacemakers! I remember all of the owners describing how their babies went from being lethargic, to back to their old selves after the pacemaker brought their rate back up.
I hope you are able to find out soon what is going on - you're probably sick with worry, and the waiting is some of the worst of it. Lots of hugs and love to you and Chelsea! |
From reading all the detail in your other posts Ann, it sounds to me like IF this is a heart block Chelsea would be at a mild enough stage to not need a pacemaker. It's wonderful to hear that the do work so well, though I don't want to think of Chelsea having to have one. Thank you!
I'm trying so hard not to get ahead of myself and assume it's a heart block. I'm trying to draw comfort from the fact that the doctor let Chelsea come home, and that he waited a few days before wanting another ECG.
