Bunny update again

Bunny went in for her echocardiogram this morning.  She also had another chest x-ray.  All the materials are being sent off to be analyzed by a cardiologist in San Diego, and we should get the assessment within 48 hours.  Our vet isn’t an expert on heart issues, but she said that Bunny’s lungs looked much better than they had a week ago, and that Bunny’s heart was still enlarged, but it was less enlarged than it was last Monday.

Bunny does seem to be acting normally, and I know she’d be thrilled to be healthy as it would mean no more trips to the vet!  She’s not fond of the car.  Even if her heart is enlarged from a genetic condition, I think we’ve caught it early enough that medication should be able to prolong Bunny’s life.  I feel a lot more positive about everything than I did a week ago, that’s for sure.  Back then, her congested lungs and enlarged heart pointed to congestive heart failure, and I felt so helpless and devastated.  I truly hope we’ll still have years and years of happiness with her ahead.

On another note, I want to say good things about Care Credit.  I called them this morning to ask for a credit limit increase so I could pay for the cardiology consultation, and they gave me the increase immediately, and also wished Bunny good luck.  It was good to know that I could pay for today’s visit without emptying the bank account.

  1. Good luck to Bunny. Glad to hear you don’t have to worry about how to pay for it ... at least, up front. There are animal lovers everywhere!
