Harry's Results

[PinkSparklyPussyCat]

I've just had the results of Harry's blood test for his heart and it's not good. His proBNP level is 344 and anything over 270 is classed as serious heart disease. I'm sitting at my desk at work in tears as I don't know what to do. As far as I can see I've got three options:

1. Get a second opinion
2. Have him referred for tests to see how serious it is and decide on treatment
3. Leave him be.

Please don't flame me but I'm leaning towards option 3. He's 13 years old, has been through more sedations, tests and operations than I care to remember over the last two years and is absolutely find in himself. He's eating, drinking and playing, doesn't get out of breath and, if he hasn't got long, I want him to be happy in that time, not in and out of vets all the time.

Hello Harry darling! You be a good boy and keep well!

I’ve been panicking as we’re going on holiday in less than 3 weeks and I’m worried about him having to go to the vets while we’re away. I spoke to his old vets (he’s now registered at both) and they’ve said he can go there if necessary and I don’t have to worry about payment or insurance claims until I’m home. That’s one less thing to worry about!

Here he is with the cat ornament I took from Mums garden. I think he knows it’s not real!

Oh God, I feel quite ashamed of the state of the ‘patio’ (well that’s what the estate agent called it!). I must get DH on the case!
