Zoie's vet visit.... very bad news So I took Zoie to the vet just a couple hrs ago.... The vet was great.. best vet i've been to. But, poor Zoie.... she has heart failure :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: My poor baby. I dont really know any details really. I saw her x-ray, her heart is 1 and half times the normal size :cry: I didn't really get to ask many questions, I was in tears, and couldn't really think or talk, i was just in shock. So I will talk to the vet tomorrow, hopefully find out the results of more tests, and ask more questions. I have to schedule her to see a radiologist for her heart. :( I feel so sad and helpless.. I dont know what to do for her, it just breaks my heart. They put her on heart medicine and diaretic for the fluid in her lungs. She will be on hear medicine for the rest of her life :cry: :cry: The vet touched her and listened to her heart and knew it right away that she had heart failure.. I had taken her 3 times to the other vet and they kept giving me medicine for her diarreah... I want to go hurt that vet! I'm so mad at her! |
I'm so sorry about your little one. I have no idea what to say to you but I will keep you guys in my prayers. |
I am very sorry about the bad news :cry: ...We will keep you both in our prayers... |
Thank you very much. I just hate feeling helpless. I just hope she's not in pain. :( |
i am so, so sorry to hear about Zoie. I dont know if humans and dogs are alike but, my dad had cong heart failure for over 15 yrs and it was controlled with medication. He did fine, he had to rest during the day for a couple hours but did great. Im hopeing that the dr can give you meds to help and that Zoie has many more years of happiness. |
:cry: :cry: I'm SOOOOO sorry :cry: :hands: |
Im sorry to hear this, I will keep her in my prayers. |

I will definitely find out more once I can go see the radiologist. The vet said he will do an ultra sound of her heart and then we can go from there. I want to put her in a bubble so she can't get hurt now. :( |
AWWWW dena i just read this :( Im so very sorry about this sad news about zoie , Poor little girl . I know this must be so heartbreaking for you, But you have to stay strong for zoie . You will be in my thoughts and prayers . If you need anything you know im always here for you . Big hugs |
Oh Dena, I am so sorry. I will be praying for her and that it isn't as bad as you fear. Huge hugs to you both. |
I'm so terribly sorry to hear that... I hope with the right medicine she will enjoy a lot of good years to come :hearts-xx |
Try your best to calm down :) I know the words "heart failure" are very scary, but it's truly not as bad as it sounds. Failure is too harsh a word. I take care of many (very elderly) people in a nursing home who have had CHF for years and years. It is controlled by medications and I've never seen anyone in pain due to the CHF. The vet sounds fantastic! I'd bet your baby's in very good hands!! You'll be in my thoughts! Good luck! |
I'm so sorry, my prayers are with you and Zoie! |
I am so sorry to hear this. My parents recently found out their 13 year old Yorkie has a heart murmer and enlarged heart (along with many other things). Their vet said they should be able to control it with heart medicine. He also told them not to let him over exert himself. Like other people said, I don't know how similar people & dog hearts are but my grandfather was diagnosed with congestive heart failure about 20 years ago. He does not take very good care of himself and he is doing fine. It sounds like you have a good vet to take care of little Zoie now. We will be praying for you. |
