Thank you so much for asking. Chablis is still doing very well. Me, Im scared to death. When my little Jassi passed away suddenly from congestive heart failure (September 14, 2007) I started to research as much as I could about it. I didnt know anything about it before Jassi. I then took my other 4, including Moki in for a echocardiogram. Little Chablis just had one last fall, it came back with slight irregularities but so slight that medication was not needed at that time. So I was extremely caught off guard on this. We compared her xrays Saturday to xrays taken of her heart and lungs last fall when she had her senior check up. Things did change, her heart is slightly more enlarged and the mitral valve has a little more leakage than in fall. So it can come on really fast. Very scary! The signs of congestive heart failure are weight loss, a gagging type cough like trying to get the fluid out of the lungs, inactivity and gets tired quickly. My Jassi had all of those signs, I just didnt know and still feel guilty about that today. Chablis on the other hand had none of those syptoms, None! When she went into cardiac distress at 4am on saturday morning it was like a dream, for a few moments I thought my baby had died in my arms. I cant tell you the fear and terror I felt seeing the identical scenerio with Jassi play out again. I froze. When I saw she was still breathing I quickly got her into the hospital. 4 months ago tomorrow sweet Moki peacefully left this earth, (oh we miss our little boy so much)
This just couldnt be happening again. I spoke to her Doctor last night for quite a while. Yes she does have congestive heart failure, which one day will eventually.......(I cant say it) But the good news is that she reponded so well & quickly to the heart medication, the chances are she will continue to do well on them. I have got to learn to live each day without being so terrified of losing her. I was so scared of losing my Moki, I just dont want to live each day in that fear. Its hard. Thanks so much for caring, I'll keep you posted, and keep my beanie baby in your thoughts and prayers
