another trouble

she's my girl. and she's sick
last night she had an"episode"
today the vet diagnosed (in all likelihood) heart disease
(we knew of a murmur)
but it's so much worse.
tonight, meds and i will watch her carefully
if we're lucky, they will help
she's quite advanced
but coping well
i wish i had known sooner 
i hope it's in time to help
we must wait.

  16. WOW! so much love.
    THANK YOU.
    wendy had a good night, is eating and behaving normally this morning. a good weekend is crucial, then two vet checks, before we know if the meds will work for her.

  25. Oh my gosh, Velma. I have been away from my Google Reader for a week in a frenzy of preparation, and I read this. I am so sorry about your dear friend, but I am happy to read that she seems to be doing better. Border collies - there is such an expressiveness about them that you don't see in other breeds. You hurt when they hurt. I will keep you both in my thoughts.
