Hi, I'm in the computer/ferret room monitoring 'Chopper who has just had her first dose of Digoxin. No signs of nausea, so that's very good. Her resting heart rate at home had gotten up to 180 and she fainted again last weekend. Basically, there is very little room in her ventricles any longer so her heart is trying to compensate. If she tolerates the Digoxin it will improve her quality and quantity of life. Now she is on her furosemide, Enacard, Digoxin, Viocase (different problem) and tiny amount of potassium, plus AD for extra calories. She's STILL the boss of everyone here, though, and quite the dictatorial old lady. [Posted in FML issue 2298]
