My apologies for not posting this sooner, and for the fact that this is going to be short. Miss Babs is home and doing well! It took her a few days to finally come around and be herself again, but we definitely have the old Babs back right now. Yay! They did an EKG on her Monday afternoon and found that the walls of her heart are thickened so between that and the steroid shot she received to help her colitis was too much for her heart to take. She's now on insulin and a diuretic, and is going to be given another prescription next Tuesday when we take her back in for a follow-up at the clinic our vet sent us to. The new prescription is going to relax her veins, which will put less stress on her heart. Hopefully she won't be on any of these medicines a year from now. We'll just have to take it a day at a time.
Over the weekend my eyes were so puffy from crying they hurt. I was so afraid we were going to lose her.
We're beyond thrilled that she's back home! Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers!! :-)
