Sheltie is getting a scan/ultrasound for heart

Thank you all. I will let you know how it goes. I lost my first Sheltie girl last year, she was 17+. My husband and I were (and still are) heartbroken. We so quickly fell in love with our new little babe who was 5 years old when we got her. I want to keep very positive thoughts and not be pessimistic.
 
We got good news today after the Ultrasound and x-rays. At this time, there is only mild mitral value degeneration and the heart is not enlarged. The cardiologist said could do x-ray recheck in a few months, but looks good for now. I asked if it was due to diet or some other care issue, the doc said no, it happens in some dogs (and people too) as they age. Again, thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers.
 
I missed this thread, but I'm so happy your Sheltie's results came out so well. I know you're relieved!!
 
happy to hear that she's ok! I'm a heart patient myself and wish my tests could come out that good :( If canine cardio is like human cardio then this is really good news for her.

And don't worry, she'll be back to beautiful before you know it.
