News on Mr. Hope

As you can see, we have a harder time posting pictures every other day when we don't have tiny fosters growing up in the house. We did get some new, cute pictures of Mr. Hope though (we decided to call him MR. Hope b/c everyone thought he was a girl with the name "Hope"). He went to the vet Wednesday because he has been having a hacking cough lately. We'd been told to keep an eye out for this cough since it would probably be an early sign of heart failure. Which, I suppose it is. His heart has gotten ridiculously large and was pressing against his lungs, causing him to cough. They also discovered additional medical concerns: his trachea is not formed the way it should and he has back problems with his spine. He is on meds to help his heart for the moment, which is pretty much all we can do for him. We'll see how it goes.
