Don't know how much this mobile Vet thing costs, but I am looking into it. She feels that the trauma that she endured just a week before (fighting for her life) we took her in for the echo, had an effect on her blood pressure.
Taking her back to the same place, and taking her from me, was traumatic in itself for her, she states. She is still on the Viagra, although our Vet says it is unnecessary. I am starting her on goats milk per our Vet, as her appetite still is terrible.
Your continued prayers are so much appreciated.

Perhaps she may not have pulmonary hypertension and I hope that is the case; but I am not sure that it is understood here what pulmonary hypertension is.
Pulmonary hypertension is nothing like regular hypertension. It is a condition that is a problem with the size of the arteries between the lungs and heart. They look for enlargement of the pulmonary artery and the right side of the heart. Those things have nothing to do with stress.
I don't know if you have mentioned it or not, but shortness of breath is a classic symptom of pulmonary hypertension.
Cassie is in my prayers.
