I took Ivy to see the vet this afternoon. Of course, we're still worried since her hospital stay last month.
We saw Dr. Gustafson, who looks like she received a pass from high school to be there. She was thorough and friendly. Ivy's breathing has definitely improved with much less congestion noted. The heart murmur is still there, and that's to be expected of course. She has growths under her chin which will be checked for cancer.
Ivy's medication will be reduced. One pill will be stopped altogether.
She's 12 now. This was pretty much as good as the news could be.
