I know i will feel much better when they call later and tell me the surgery is over and Elliot is fine and dandy. |
I just left the vet's office. Elliot is not going to be spayed today. While doing the pre-check, the vet found that Elliot has an arrhythmia. He took Elliot to another vet at the office to get a second opinion and the second vet concurred. My vet thought that it would be prudent to not put Elliot under anesthesia today and spay her until after she is seen by a cardiologist and some testing was done.
I am so upset about my baby. I am glad that the arrhythmia was heard before surgery so that my Elliot didn't die during surgery. The office called the vet hospital for an appointment with a cardiologist and there is a wait list of 40 people! They suggested I call Cornell Hospital for an appointment with a cardiologist and they don't have any appointments available until November. So, I guess we wait for now.
The good thing is that Elliot at the moment doesn't have any other symptoms that would make it an emergent matter. I am to keep an eye on her for other developing symptoms. She was happy to be able to go home to eat
