Molly doesn't have heartworms! Today's exam showed that she needs some tooth extractions and she's about 18 lbs (she went from 24 to 38 lbs) overweight. Poor baby, they kept refering to her as geriatric.
I love our vet. They did a chest x-ray before we discussed other issues (lung ca was first on my list) and it did show that her spleen may be enlarged. Complete blood work results tomorrow to rule out diabetes and Cushings. She has a bacterial infection that they'll treat with antibiotics and get this. One, they didn't charge me for the x-rays and two, our local Publix grocer will fill this script for free! Over the last 12 years I've used this vet I've paid them enough to have my own exam room, it's nice to get a break like that.
I had a really hard time going back into that room today. I kept thinking about you guys and our little group...took my mind off of the hardest part. Thanks for listening, it helps more than you know.
Now it will take me a while to catch up, work kicked my butt today and I didn't get on here much.
