Goldy update (don't read if you don't want to get depressed)

[gategrrl]

Goldy (no, that's not his picture in the icon this time) isn't doing so well. His condition is worse than it was in October. The cardiologist took another x-ray of his chest, and he said his heart was larger, etc etc etc. And Goldy was already in bad shape when I brought him on his regular vet's advice. His coughing was almost nonstop, and the poor dog was miserable. The vet didn't want to give him any more cough medicine (Robitussin!) so that he could be sure whether or not Goldy was going into heart failure. The kids and I spent a good three hours crying about it on Tuesday. The vet wanted to try doubling his dosage of the diuretic he takes--and it's helped, but honestly...it's only getting worse.
