Welby

On Friday I left Welby at our Veterinary referral clinic for some more tests. The neurologist determined she has Pulmonary Artery Thrombosis. Basically she has blood clots in her femoral arteries that aren't allowing the blood to flow into her hindquarters. She gets very tired after walking for a few minutes. After blood work, an ultrasound and an echo cardiogram they still have no idea while her blood is clotting-well they call it "Ideopathic" Pulmonary Artery Thrombosis. She spent 3 days in the clinic getting heparin shots and she is now home with some drugs (Wafrin) to keep the blood thin. She isn't supposed to rough house which is hard with Auggie who wants to play. This is a picture of Welby with the stuffed duck that came with the "nuerology-to-go" bag. Yes, believe it, a doggy bag of sorts. I guess you pay enough money that throw something in to make you feel better! The kids thought it was cool and have gotten more play out of it then Welby has. The kids (and I) are glad to have her home.
