Trauma for the Mama - update

It turns out that Lil's wipeout wasn't caused by her arthritis. The vet said that her heart murmur has worsened, and it was probably a syncopal episode (in normal words: she passed out for a few moments because her blood pressure dropped). Her howling was most likely due to panic caused by disorientation. I guess that would explain why she stopped howling the moment I picked her up. Sigh...never a dull moment. We got some fortekor for her heart, and I sure hope it works because I never want her to have another one of those episodes again. 

Taking a well-earned rest after a nice long walk in the sunshine <3
