| Update on Maggie The results of Maggie's blood work came back and everything appears normal. Her triglyceride is high but the vet didn't seem to think this was a cause for concern. Her BUN was also high but again he didn't feel that was a concern. He did say he could do an x-ray of her heart. Could it be something with her heart? Has anyone done this?

| I am not against vaccines, so please do not take this wrong. Just want to know if Maggie had any vaccines in the last six months? I wrote before that Piccolo was lethargic and it took a long time for her vets to diagnose her problem. Later she also lost some hair and started to get scabs in her ears, etc. She was finally diagnosed with cutaneous vasculitis probably caused by vaccines. I am by no means saying that is what Maggie has, but it might be something that could be ruled out. Hope things get figured out quickly. Hugs.

| I am hoping they can diagnose what is causing Maggie's problem. I'll keep her in my prayers.

| IMHO an x-ray to check the heart is not reliable as it can often make the heart appear larger then it actually is.If you or your vet suspect a heart problem, a Cardio is the best place to go. |

| Gulf Coast now has a cardiologist. I don't know her but someone told me she is good. You might want to investigate.

| She's ok, she seems to get tired really easy. When I bathed her Sunday night, there was quite a bit of hair in the tub (I'm comparing this to what is in the tub after Buster gets a bath). Also, when I kiss her her back (yes, I do this), I usually get a mouthfull of hair. I'm not sure what to do next. When she is playing around the house she appears to be ok except after a few minutes of playing, she's done. If she goes for a walk, she needs to be carried before she gets two blocks away.

| I was wondering if they had one. I've mostly been watching her activity level, seeing if she has improved any at all. If you just watch her play for a few minutes you wouldn't think anything was wrong with her. But, after a few minutes she will find a place to lay down and most of the time go to sleep.
