DEVON REX AND SPHYNX

Not such good news about our Medhbh, the eldest of our Wolfhound girls.  Last week she became quite ill and after a visit to the vets where eventually a diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation and Conjestive Cardiac Failure was given to her, she is now on large doses of diuretics and Digoxin. 

This measure has given her massive relief, although we have to get up several times during the night as Medhbh lets us know in her own inimitable way, that she needs a wee.  She stands at the door and rattles the letterbox, followed by a large Wolfie bark.

We now have to restrict her exercise (not that she minds - a bit of a couch potatoe is our Medhbh) and monitor closely.  Weekly bloods are taken to ensure she is getting the correct dose of Digoxin and she is weighed to see how effective the diuretics are being.  Last week she lost almost 4 kilo!!

We hope that she will be with us for some time yet.
