Yesterday was ....... RAINBOW KITTY day in MannieLand. I SWEAR that dosecrease threats work! or... another testimonial for patience does work. It was a nice day for him, a bit extreme in that we hit all colors except for that really nasty color that shall not be named. He did find the greens, for a short while, and seemed satisfied with a blue surf after that. Rumor has it that the Blue Mannie Group was found jammin' live on a ski slope near you... Well done Mannie!!! I sure like those blues and greens. Maybe we can try for that again today... AFTER your vetty appt. Lubs ya big guy! cat_pet_icon

Today is Mannie's appt with a veterinary cardiologist. I finally made the appt: he will go to the specialty center here for a full cardio workup, echo, all the fun stuff. When we were dealing with his UTI and dental and no appy and giardia and U/S back in july/august, the vet felt that his heart rate was little fast, that he could well have an Arrhythmia. We never scheduled it, the cardio workup, then as we all felt we needed to get him through all the other stuff, then the heart issue, if there even is one. I've been semi-bad and have not scheduled it. so.... we will get this taken care of today. Paws crossed that we will not find any major issues.... Lucky Mannie!! A vetty trip! Sorry big guy, and I do lubs ya! cat_pet_icon

All is well in MannieLand. We are aback to the dreary dismal gray wet ad rainy weather...after a nice break on Saturday, the wet is back. :roll: Mannie spent most of the day curled in his bed - smart boy. Later in the morning I found him meowing in the kitchen... prancing and doing his fuds dance... seems he wanted to be tested. It was that test that gave me the 83. Smart kitty! He got his fav fuds, and then went back to bed. Drama was over in his book... :lol: :lol: :lol: I had spent some time cleaning up in the living room while he was asleep in his bed. I picked up his brush and comb, which made a sort of clattering sound. :shock: :shock: :shock: Those ears hot up, the eyes got very big, and he was on all fours within seconds. It was then that he ran from the room, headed down to the basement. So there I stood at the top of the stairs telling him as he made this mad dash around the corner: "Mannie... I was just moving them.. We are not having a demat session today..." He was not convinced. :lol: :lol: :lol: This morning we had a great test, feed and shoot and clean plate club , purrs and a lots of cuddles. Apparently yesterdays combing session has been forgotten. Normalcy in MannieLand.

Have a great day everyone. Today's adventure here: the vetty cardio man... so hope it goes well.

Hey everybody!! It's me... Mannie! oh well duh on that... I gots this thing I gotta do today. My bean says I gotta go.... I so don't wanna.... BUT! When I am all done we will get together and maybe have a grillin' cookout or something! maybe in the tree house? or at Rusty's? I dunno - but let's have a mini party to celebrate my surviving another vetty visit... You guys in? let me now - I am ready for anything!!~~ Mannie

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272 -- cardio day

Many good cardio vetty vines for Mannie today!!!

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272 -- cardio day

Sending vines for the cardio visit today. Hope all goes well. Thinking of you and Mannie, the Rainbow Boy.

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272 -- cardio day

Thanks Michelle for your advice in Rosy's condo yesterday. I am the aggressive type but maybe not the kind fit for Rosy. Again, when I decide to dosecrease tomorrow, she embushed me with a 58 again! nailbite_smile
Sending good vetty vines! Wishing a smooth cardio test & scan.

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272 -- cardio day

Morning Michelle, and sending many good Vetty vines and positive thoughts for a clean bill of cardio health for our Mannie. It seems like there were a few Rainbow Kitties yesterday. Maggie managed to be a part of the BMG yesterday, but not today. What time is Mannie's appt,
Mannie, thank you for the Triple shot espressos, with beans ffrom Panama Paso Ancho, and also the Venti quad blackberry special drink. I love the Mannie Signature Foam, Auntie Ann

Mannie, sounds like a great idea. As soon as you're done at Vetty, we'll come over and remove that Vetty smell and take care of you, either your house or Rusty's, k! See ya soon, and don't worry as all will be okay, Mags

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272 -- cardio day

Hey Mannie, I'm wishin' you a really good vetty appointment today with a clean slate. I'll be over to the tree house later with KTSS to get off the vetty smell, or you can come here and chillax on the porches (it's going to be warm today and the porches will be open). See ya later, pal,
Rusty

Hi Michelle, I'm sure it will all go well today. I'll be thinking good thoughts that all will be "normal".

Too funny about the comb and brush!!

Check back with you later. I have my own "vetty" appointment today, too!

Ella

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272 -- cardio day

Good luck at the vet. I hope Mannie gets a clean bill of health and no brushing!

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272 -- cardio day

'Morning Michelle. Sending lots of good vetty vines, and tons of good wishes for clean bill of health for the Nanner King. :smile:

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272 -- cardio day

Morning everyone!

Morning Amy Many thanks! Mannie says h will take all the vines he can get.

Morning Barbara I think we will be good to go. He is a-symptomatic so we shall see. That though is so Mannie: never ever a sign that anything may be a-miss. So we will get it checked out.

Morning Helen oh wow on Rosy! a 58? wow - I wish you much luck with her dosing. THX: we too hope for a smooth going exam.

Morning Ann THX: I so hope that is what I will hear: all is well, and if not that it is manageable. Paws crossed. It was an interesting day yesterday. Seems alot of kitties were able to join the Blue Mannie Group, but alas not today here either. Yellow rules today. Part of me is glad: no low numbers ton deal with in conjunction wit a vetty visit... :? Mannie's appt is at 11.
Auntie Ann - YAY! You like today's offerings. WOO HOO! I love that foam... it is SO HARD to do. I had to practice alot!! ~~ Mannie

Morning Ella THX. I am sure it will be fine too. It will be nice to know just what is what with him. oh oh: good luck with your own "vetty" appt. hope that goes ell. and yes on the comb - that was so funny. I had a good laugh over that one...

Morning Sienne Many thanks. It will be good to have this done, establish a base line if nothing else.

Morning Barb many thanks! I hope so too. Paws are crossed big time.

Rusty - DUDE! You guys are the best. I so don't wanna smell like the vetty, ya know? Maybe's we can meet here and then go to your place? A double party! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO on the warm porches and they are open???? So nice! We are rainy here... ~~ Mannie

Maggie - WOO HOO! I knew I could count on you guys... cuz well, I know I will smell real bad... not good for the Manster.... hey thx. I try not to sorry, but wow, this is kinda scary.... they is checking my ticker! :shock: See you soon ~~ Mannie

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286 -- cardio day

Special cardio vetty vines for that sweet Mannie boy!!!! Scritches for Mannie, ((hugs)) for you, Michelle! Hope there's good news at the end of the echo tunnel!!

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286 -- cardio day

Paws crossed for Mannie and you today. Too funny about the sound of the brush sending him downstairs. I can't blame him!
Liz

Mannie, you are a wild man! ~Z

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286 -- cardio day

Morning Deborah Many thanks - I do too: good results at the end of that echo tunnel. I passed on the scritches, he purred back. cool!

Morning Liz Thanks! We are hoping for a great appt. I had to laugh at him after hearing his brushes. Mr Zippy Pants. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Z! heeheehee.... I do try! but i dunno.... this vetty thing is kinda freaky... ~~ M

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286 -- cardio day

Hi guys .. Along with everyone else I send good vetty thoughts your way .. Hopefully all the tests come back A OK! We've been hit with the dreary weather as well, and possible snow tomorrow .. our girls are bunkered down .. have a great day!

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265 -- cardio day

265 @ +4. YAY! A nice safe number for a vetty day. a little cushion, since Mannie seems to like to drop after these appts.... :?

Hi Devon Many thanks! I will take all the vines I can get. oh wow - snow for you, maybe? I don't blame the girls - bunkering down sounds like a great way to go. Rains have started here today, Mannie too has gone back to bed. smart kitties!

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265 -- cardio day

Hi Michelle. Good luck with the vetty visit Mannie! I hope everything comes back good. Both Shnookie and Rumpy (drooler) have been to the cardiologist, and Kibby may need to go too. Shnookie had an echo done, he's asymptomatic, too, and so far, no treatment required, but needs to be seen annually. Rumpy just had a chest xray, they didn't feel an echo was warranted at this point, and again, no treatment, just yearly monitoring. Kibby had a chest xray at the regular vet last week, which is being reviewed and I haven't heard results on that yet. It's great to have a baseline, so I hope that's all this turns out to be for Mannie.

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265 -- cardio day

Good luck at the vet appt :mrgreen:

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265 -- cardio day

Lots more vetty vines coming from the south. No worries Mannie, we all KNOW you have a great heart!

Mannie, I'll be waiting when you gets home! Extra special Spa treatment and maybe intitate the new hot tub in the tree house. Then you can relax on Rusty's Porches! I'll go get Tobes for a special massage! -- Tess

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265 -- cardio day

Morning Michelle and Mannie, sending lots of good vetty vines from CA! I laughed when I saw your post "cardio day" I thought you were puttin Mannie on a treadmill hahahaha! I hope all goes well, will be loking forward to hearing how it goes!
BTW I have shot Scrabble in the chest (area behind front leg before ribs) and there is fleshy skin there so not so bad to shoot with long hair. Just thought I would share if you want to experiment, obviously for Scrabble it has not made a difference yet as Mr P is not listening!
Have a great day Michelle and lots of hugs to Mannie for a great visit!

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265 -- cardio day

Morning Anne Many thanks - this is a relief to read your experiences. I hope it will be the same for Mannie, and if not, well - best to find that out too. Paws crossed all will be well!

Morning Lisa Thank you!!!!

Morning Ann Many thanks, and too cool on the great heart. so I told him. Getting to be nervous Nellie here as the hour approaches for our departure.. nailbite_smile

Hi Michelle oh that is funny - Mannie on a treadmill! That made me laugh, a great tension reliever! THX too on the shoot spot info. I will check it out on Mannie - I really need to vary the shoot spot even more than I do ...after 4.5 years one can tell that he gets his shots in the scruff. Once feel the scar tissue. And thanks. We too hope for a great visit.

Tess! OOOOOOOOOOOOO! Great idea! Let's initiate the new hot tub. WOO HOO! That should help with the vetty smell. Tobes!! Best limber up those paws - I is gong to need them!! ok, I feel better now.... I will come back here, then off to Rusty's. SWEET~~ Mannie

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio

339 @ +6 OUCH! ohmygod_smile and where did that come from? Well - off we go! cardio time! nailbite_smile

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio

You are probably stuffing Mannie into a box as I type, but I'll pile on some more good vetty vines for Mannie. I hope he doesn't need to get shaved again. It's cold enough outside without a shaved tumtum. (although it does get rid of some of those mats).

Mannie, I'm heading out to the solarium to harvest some of that rosemary they grow there. Let me know as soon as you're back and I'll hit the #5 highway. I think there might be some lavender on the deck if you'd like that too.

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +2 286, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio

Oh what fun this is... we are at the cardio vetty. Mannie is such a good boy. He let Dr. Moran do the initial physical exam with no fuss. Prelim exam inidicated a normal heart rate for a cat at the vet. He did detect an abnormal rhythm. Instead of lub-dub Mannie is doing a lub-dub-dub. All else seemed fine. So.... now we wait on the echo, BP reading, and the ECG.

Hi Wendy. Many thanks for the vetty vines! I so hate the waiting..... and nope" so shaving. YAY!

MJ - that is hilarious! !!! Thanks so much for the vetty humor.

Neko! That would be so cool!i loves rosemary! This place is so weird. And it smells like droolers. NO!!!!!! Ok more in a bit. They are starting this electrical thing. Whoa on that.... ~~ Mannie, cardio patient

Sorry for the typos. It is so hard typing on this phone!
:-|

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio prelim

Sending Good Cardio Vetty vines to our best buddy Mannie!! Paws & fingers crossed for a good easy outcome with a normal, but very sweet heart for Mannie...WE love you & Hugs you Both!! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio prelim

Michelle,
sending you the biggest vine i can find for good results.

Mannie, man, keep a stiff upper tail . - Oliver

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio prelim

Awww Mannie was a good boy for Dr Moran.

Now the wait for results? They will be fine, Michelle...I say so!!!

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +6 339 -- CARDIO RESULTS

479 @ +9. :shock: :shock: :shock: ohmygod_smile ohmygod_smile can we say VETTY STRESS????

we are back... and no worse for wear. Mannie was a model patient. what good kitty! Cardio dude said he wished all his patients were as good as Mannie. :lol: :lol: so..... for the results. let's hope I can interpret all this correctly.... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
Cardio Results:
Physical exam: normal. Noted: S4 gallop rhythm. not audible murmur found
BP: 210, 100-160 considered normal. so Mannie was "up there". hpyer tension cannot be ruled out, but all other associated with this are normal: eyes,etc. Cardio man suspects tat this was related to the visit there. We will recheck in 2 weeks
ECG: Heart Rate 120, sinus tachycardia diagnosed. fast heart rate I think.... ??
ECHO: there are some changes in Mannie echo from 4 years ago, progression appears to be slow. valves function normally. Blood flow is normal. Contractions are normal. There is one area that indicates possible HCM, but case is extremely mild and will be reevaluate in 6 months. One atrium wall is thick - this is the area of concern.
Diagnosis: Asymmetric Basilar Septal Hypertrophy: MILD, POSSIBLY due to HCM. There is a thickening of the atrium ( I think that was the part) ) that will require medication to prevent the formation of clots, which cats I guess are prone to. He will be placed on Plavix to deal with this. The possible Hypertension will be reevaluated in two weeks.
so... that is it in a nutshell. I hope I interpreted it all correctly. He has a few issues with wall thickening but not considered at this time as a for sure HCM patient. So re-eval in 6 months.

Hi Mary - many thanks!!! We did well, all is at this point treatable.
Oliver! Will do man! ~~ Mannie

Hi Roni - Many thanks. He has some issues, so on meds to deal with it. Not too bad overall, he will be just fine. YAY!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I STINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on, come all: party in the treehouse, then off to Rusty's!! ~Mannie, cardio patient.

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio DONE!

Hi Barb - he did so well. What a good patient! now we deal with the results, which, all in all, weren't too bad. one issue, but it can be medicated. so - good to go.

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio DONE!

Glad to hear that there are no serious immediate problems. Get ready to be buried in kitters wanting their friend to know they all lubs him!


Suggested use #1 for all the extra un-needed vetty vines!

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio DONE!

Thanks Ann- me too. I read the print out that they gave me and OMG - alot of medial stuff that is beyond interpretation. AIyye!! The main concern is the potential for blood clots. so we need to address that now. all the rest is on re-eval status. Good, I think....

LOL: Mannie has not stopped bathing since he got home.He really does stink... poor guy! Tell the kitters he so needs his friends.

LOVE the pic! That's my boy!

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio DONE!

Mannie, are you ok? Ugh, you do have a bit of an aroma about you. And I'm bringing the ropes and everyone will pull you down, nice and easy. ~Z

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +11 479 -- cardio result

479 @ +11. oh my.....

Z! DUDE! I is OK, I thinks..... just kinda lost Wayyyyyyyy upppppppppppppppp hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Ropes! PLEASE! i know..... I STINK, like real bad. What is that stuff they put on you when they do all that machine stuff. Dude it was really weird..... ~~ Mannie

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +6 339 -- cardio DONE!

Awww.....Mannie, glad you're alright. Yeah, we all be over and lubs all over you and have a party and take all that vetty smell and stress away. See ya soon, Mags

Michelle, I don't quite understand all the medical terminology, but sounds like it is manageable with meds and b/p will be monitored. Maggie has her b/p monitored, too. You ust be relieved, too, that it's all over.

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +11 479 -- cardio result

HI Ann - oh I know! I read this printout and think omg... where is the dictionary. I wrote from what I remember him telling me. But yes: manageable with meds. Their concern is the thickening of the one chamber that can cause a clot release event - bad news if that should happen - therefore the meds. and oh yes - a huge relief that it is over. Even though he did not get a clean bill of health it isn't all that bad... we recheck periodically to make sure all is the same.

Maggie!! Hurry!! I smell so bad! UGHHHHH! I am so ready to party!! ~~ Mannie

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +11 479 -- cardio result

Usually, when there is a danger of clots the concern is that something is disrupting the flow of flood. This could be a valve that's not functioning properly or because of wall thickening, there are "rough" spots that disrupt the smooth flow of blood and increase the risk for clots. It's pretty much the same in humans. Plavix is an anticoagulant and prevents clots from forming.

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +11 479 -- cardio result

Thanks Sienne. This is what I was told, but you explained it much better - THANK YOU! In Mannie's case it is a wall thickening, and the valves are functioning normally. I have filled the Plavix script, but will wait until FR to start meds, so I can watch for the side effects, none of which are particularly pleasant. Just can't do that effectively when DGS is here....

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +11 479 -- cardio result

Hey buddy, glad you're home, even if you do smell vetty icky. We'll get you all cleaned up and smelling like a manly cat should smell. We'll party 'till all the stress is gone and your numbers are nice and low again. PARTEEEEEEEE dancing_cat
Your Pal, Checkers

Michelle, I'm glad Mannie's health issue can be managed with drugs. Think the high bp was stress?
My bp soars, when I go to the doc too. :smile:

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +11 479 -- cardio result

Mannie, good buddy, i just left a prezzie in the lb and didn't cover it... come on over... no one will notice you smell a little funny if we hang near my prezzie....

Michelle, i'm So glad Mannie is home and pretty darn well. i hope he just doesn't have any of the goofy ol side effects.
take good care
mary and oliver

Re: 11/12 Mannie AMPS 272, +4 265, +11 479 -- cardio result

:lol: @ Oliver's invitation.

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

497 @ pmps. ARRGGHHH!!!!!!! Come on down Mannie - the vetty trip is over.... WOW: almost a perfect storm: headed up after a dip into the greens yesterday, and then a stressful vetty trip and BAM with the BG's. I sure hope he is down some at +2.

Hi Barb - I to LOVE oliver's invitation! :lol: :lol: The general opinion is that Mannie's elevated BP was vet trip related. There re other areas they look at to help with BP Dx - one of them the eyes, and his are normal. Other areas are normal too. So.... I will take him in in a couple of weeks and have his BP tested again. The other issues will be treated with Plavix, or baby asprin - I need to decide which would be the best approach for him. But ll in all, not too bad.

Hey Checkers! DUDE! OOOOOOOOOOOOO! Thanks Man. I don't smell so man;y right now, and I gots this gel stuff on my fur!! NASTY!!! WOO HOO - I like your idea - party!! I a so there... Thanks man ~~ Mannie

Hi Mary - many thanks! Me too on the side effects. aiyee on that. He usually tolerate meds well, so I hope he will on this one too.

Oliver! DUDE!! I LUBS that plan. that'll work. heeheehee...LET"S DO IT! Be right there! I'll bring Pizza! ~~Mannie

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

Congrats Michelle to the clean vetty report! It's wonderful that concern can be treated if necessary. Give Mannie a hug for me!

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

good news that the heart checkup was relatively good!

My Sammy told me to tell you to get these for the Plavix: http://www.capsuline.com/cat_chicken_flavored_caps/catcaps™-chicken-flavored-size-3---119.html

or see if your vet can give you some empty capsules. Plavix is BITTER and when I tried to hide it in soft treats it turned Sammy off of the treats. Some people are able to get their cats to take it in pill pockets, but I haven't been that lucky.

Be sure you get the generic Plavix, it's way, way cheaper. Sammy hasn't had any side effects from his Plavix. I think it is generally well tolerated. I have a friend whose cat has been on it for 5 years.

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

Yo Mannie, my pal! You don't smell so good, but that can be fixed right away with a KTSS treatment. Let's chillax and have a niptini.
Rusty

Michelle, it sounds certainly manageable. One step at a time. I hope that the Plavix will work out. Is it a blood thinner?

Mannie, you can come down to better numbers now. Vetty Day is OVER!!! YAY!!!

Have a good evening, guys,

Ella & Rusty

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

Michelle - so good to hear that Mannie has no serious issues right now and that meds will work - hopefully he'll be good about taking them.

Mannie, psssssst! Come see me, I got a special blend of Mexican Gold ... flaked goldfish that is, bound up with spicy tendrils of nip and cheeze doodles. Smells to DIEEEEE for! It'll de-stink you right away with a whole new BETTER stink! I gotta bag waiting for ya! ~Leo

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

I'm glad the vetty report wasn't too bad. At least the one thing is treatable. I hope Mannie comes back down for you now that he's home.

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

Hi Michelle, Glad to hear Mannie got a good heart report and his condition can be treated with meds. cat_pet_icon Hope he comes down to lower numbers soon and does not experience side effects from Plavix.

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

Hi Helen - Will do on the hugs. Yep, report was fairly good. and what wasn't can be treated. YAY!

Hi Libby - thank you for the visit, and the info. Yes, THe checkup was more or less good, with a few concerns. It is good to know that Plavix does have a taste, and not a nice one. Mannie loves the pill pockets, so might try those. I like the capsule idea though too. That would be helpful. And yes on the generic Plavis -that is what I got. The cardio man wrote the script for Plavix only, but the pharmacy called and got that changed. so we have the generic. huge $$ savings. It is SO NICE to know that there weren't nay side effects for Sammy. That had me a bit worried... so thanks!

Hi Ella - I think it will be. But we do need to do the meds - to prevent the clot formation. and yes - Plavix is a blood thinner. I hope it will help him too. And yes - so I told him: COME DOWN! - he almost has a perfect storm brewing: dive to greens yesterday, extra fuds, vetty visit and now I just remembered: NEW MOON!

Hi Lisa - THX - it was a good visit. there are a few issues, but manageable ones. I so hope on the meds too.

Hi Carla - thanks!!! it was OK, and treatable is good! I'm happy about that. Now if he'll just bring those numbers down some. :shock:

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

Come on down Mannie! The vetty excitement is over. Great to hear it went well and you have the results already. I never knew they give Plavix to cats but am not surprised. I'm so glad that it is manageable. Big hugs to you Michelle. I know how nerve wracking it is. Sounds like Mannie was his charming self. Have a great night!

hey Mannie! You gots that vetty smell? We are on the way. - Tarragon

Re: 11/12 Mannie PMPS 497 -- cardio results

I'm glad to hear that the results are just mild and nothing serious. With meds and being a good boy taking them, Mannie will have years!! It's good to recheck that BP in a couple weeks. I know you are glad to get this behind you and know what you are and are not dealing with. Can we all say how much we dread vetty stress on the BG? I hope it wears off very soon!!

Have a great night....sleep is in your future! And thanks for your support and encouragement yesterday. :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
