  • Re: Border collie Jack

    We had Jack at the vet in March or April to have a small skin tag removed. Just listening through the stethoscope, the vet felt like the heart murmur was still stage 2 so hadn't progressed drastically. We will see the cardiologist next month for a more formal check.

    Generally, Jack's been doing well. Going on long walks with Jeff every day. Now I'm stale bread as far as Jack's concerned! LOL

                    We have an appointment on the 8th, and I'm worried as he has seemed very tired the past two weeks. Hoping it's just the heat, but he's in a thoroughly cooled house all day so am anxious.

                              We are much relieved that all the news about Jack's heart was good. Jack has been subdued lately - pretty much slept through some really loud and long fireworks in the neighborhood over the weekend among other things - and both Jeff and I were really anxious about this visit.

                              But all the news as good. The valve leak is basically unchanged, no enlargement of the heart, and the taurine and CoQ10 supplements have helped strengthen his heart muscle - the contractions of his heart were stronger. So we heave a huge sigh of relief and stick with what we are doing.
