Spent a long few days and emotional roller coaster at the vet’s Thursday that has finally come to a hopeful end. The greatest dog I’ve ever had, Chaos, had some swelling in his stomach. They said he had a muffled heart beat and arrhythmia. X-rays showed he was retaining liquid around the stomach and after a sample and, based on color, he the thought it was his heart and common with right ventricular failure.
I took him to the MedVet hospital along with the x-rays and they gave hope that it could be something with the liver as well as the best prognosis but also the minimal prospect of inflammatory bowel disease but he did say his heart appeared normal in size with no liquid around it, and the rest of the liquid could cause pressure resulting in the other things so that was a bit of a boost.
