Please Pray For Zoe...

...and for Frank.

From Frank, my brother-in-law, about his Corgi:

Looks like we have another dog struggling. Zoe has had a swollen area under one eye for about a month - two rounds of antibiotics didn't help. Doc thought it might be a particular tooth that usually abscesses. Turns out it was another tooth totally unrelated to the swelling. Took out a teaspoon of unknown yellow fluid from below the eye - off to the lab. She was struggling to breathe while at the vets - so she did x-rays - she has an extremely enlarged heart - mashing the lungs somewhat - diagnosed as dilated myocardiomyopathy. Vet said she was at the point where if she has any kind of crisis - it would not be productive to treat her. Broke my heart. Haven't cried like this since Gayle died. Zoe is my connection to her and I have been dreading this possibility. Will keep you posted.

Gayle is Frank's wife and my sister, who passed away three and a half years ago. This same family recently lost Murphy. Trouble upon trouble.
