He said to go ahead this week with her dental and to get her B/P reading a few times over an extended period of time (he said preferably over an hour) .. my vet can do that when she is there for the dental on Thursday .. actually that had already been discussed. The UPC is to be repeated in one month.

I did not speak with him....but I am thinking that maybe the fact that her blood work is all ok is a good sign; and I am hopeful that she is still in early stage disease. This is not a condition that will go away...I just so hope she can live a longer life. All of the information I see...and even the specialist told me that the average life expectancy is one year.

I am happy to hear Olivia ate her food and was spunky enough to chase Pippi away.

Praying Olivia defies the odds. I am sorry you have to go through this right now. (not that there is ever a good time)

Glad she ate for you! And told Pippi what for! Haha.

Praying Olivia proves them wrong and lives many more years.

I surely hope so. You know, Cathy's Daisy has the same condition:

So glad to hear that Olivia is ok & I hope she continues to do well!
Loll Pippi & Olivia reminds me of Momo & Princess, he goes sniffing around her food bowl to steal any scraps after he's done eating his fill & Princess will growl @ him! Somehow, Momo helps her eat bc she doesn't want him stealing her food which will take her hrs to finish if he wasn't around.
