Kicho’s New Update

We took little Kicho to the vet yesterday to run some tests. The doctor said the Lasix did the job of removing the fluid in her lungs. They also tested her kidney and liver to make sure they were still healthy in order for her to continue her heart medication, and all is good! There’s really nothing that can be done for her heart disease. They increased her dosage in the hopes that she responds to it better. She’s going to be on heart medication for the rest of her life. Lifespan is undetermined at the moment. We can only be hopeful. We have to monitor her more closely and will have to continue to take her in to run the usual tests every 3 months. It’s been expensive but she’s totally worth it. It’ll be an ongoing thing. Thank you to all that have given us their support and all the well wishes. We’ll do everything in our power to provide her a long, healthy, and happy life.

Here are some photos I took half hour ago during our little walk. Kicho is the sweetest puppy ever.

Hi, my name is Sumo and I'm a red Shiba Inu. I like to drive my parents crazy by destroying everything. The curtains, shoelaces, couches, cables, dressers, drywall, hardwood floors (Oh, definitely the hardwoods), remote controls, and absolutely anything I can chomp on. I also love to scratch the heck out of everything. I'm an artist. I've tried to tell my parents but they don't seem to understand nor appreciate the things that I do. I make my work of art on the doors, cabinets, mirrors, and pretty much anything I can lay my paws on.

Born: February 9, 2008
Breed: Black & Tan Female Shiba Inu
Name (Nicknames): Kicho, Kichi, Keech, Keechster, Little Bear
Age: 2 Years 7 Months
Weight: 14.1 lbs

I am a new addition to our family. I arrived on March 14, 2009. I am a bit of a goody-goody and always tell on Sumo when he's doing something bad but that never stops him from trying to get away with it. Unfortunately, I do have heart disease but I'm hanging tough and always full of energy and constantly bothering Sumo when he is trying to sleep. I like being scratched by the base of my tail and lots of treats is a big plus! ;-) Oh I like to eat fuzz balls and ummmm... sniff some poo. But only sniff! I don't roll with it.
