Vet Update Results



Abbey Lane had X-rays taken and what they found was the heart a little enlarged, nothing to be too concerned about and Buckshot! Yep, you read it right. This girl has numerous fragments of buckshot that showed up on the X-ray. This is what Lisa had to say, "We had a chest X-ray and blood work done on Thursday to see how she's doing. The vet- as I suspected was amazed at how well she is doing considering all the issues she is dealing with.

Chest X-ray show a slightly enlarged heart but lungs look decent. I forwarned Maggie that they might also see some bright metallic objects and as I suspected she has about 9 buckshot just in the chest area alone. She is eating like a champ and on the right course for heartworm treatment once we get the Lyme disease and RMSF under control."
