Calvin saw the Cardiologist on Thursday and underwent an echo-cardiogram. Although the shelter documentation had noted his heart murmur was a grade 5-6, the examination and test results from yesterday do not match that assessment.
The good news is that the heart murmur is really more like a stage 4, and not a 5-6, and Calvin’s beautiful heart is not enlarged so there will be no need for medication at this time.
Even though they are healthy, we are going to start both Calvin and Hobbes on some senior supplements to help keep them healthy as they enjoy being loved and spoiled the rest of their lives!
We want to thank each and every one of you for the outpouring of love, thoughts and prayers for Calvin. We can’t begin to tell you how relieved we are to hear such wonderful news, and look forward to sharing many happy updates about Calvin and his wonderful new life here in our Sanctuary.
If anyone is interested in sponsoring Calvin’s lifetime care in Sanctuary, please reach out to us directly.
