Sheltie is getting a scan/ultrasound for heart

Jen05 said:
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.

How nice to get some good news!!! Now maybe you can get a good night's sleep. We all know what it's like to go through the worry over a furchild.

Just curious...but I was wondering where you had the ultrasound done? Our vet has to have somebody come into his office to do them. Feel free to e-mail me if you'd rather.
 
So glad to hear your news! I've had a mitral valve prolapse for 30 years with no problems caused by it. It is generally a pretty benign condition. I'm glad you had it checked out though so now you know what it is.
 
Hi danisgoat, she did fine with the ultrasound and kept her composure, but when all was over and bill paid, we ran out the door at record speed. She wouldn't accept a treat in the hospital, but certainly did in the car on the way home. During our hospital visit, another little beautiful Sheltie girl was there also. We met her in the lobby, her owners were very worried. She is 1 1/2 years old and owners said she changed almost instantly from a happy vibrant girl, to having no appetite, and not wanting to do anything. I don't know what they found out but I can't stop thinking about them. My girl went over to say hello and bump noses. It's impossible to not love every Sheltie we see.
