She has been feeling bad and having spells where she falls over and is unable to move. We calm her down by talking gently to her and she comes out of it.
We went to see Eric in Austin and when we got to his apartment (he lives on the second floor)...Tiny refused to go up the stairs. She just sat down and looked up at us and barked. So we picked her up and carried her up the stairs. She was short of breath from the walk from the car.,
Her stomach has grown huge. She is not pregnant. I took her to the vet this morning and she was diagnosed with a serious heart condition.
The doctor put her on heart medicine and a diretice....or however you spell it....it is to help her pee. Any way she gave Tiny a shot also and she has been going alot since then.
The medicine is going to cost 79 dollars a month. I know this is alot of money.....but it is TINY
The doctor said she would have to be on it for the rest of her life. She should be getting better soon.
She has a heart murmer.
We love her so much as I know all of you have come to love her as well. Keep Miss Tiny in your prayers.
Here is a picture I took of her at Christmas....She still has energy and is eating and drinking fine.
Doctor said....no more table food....no more chips....and the one that Tiny didn't like....no more tapioca.
But she will be with us.

Awwwwwww Barbara of course I will keep Tiny in my prayers, I miss you alot, wishing you a wonderful "2008" Love You Lisa XOXO
Poor Tiny..she is basically going on "Doggy Weight Watchers." Our family dog had the same thing happen...but our vet called it congestive heart failure. He would fill up with fluid and it caused a hacking type cough, and he retained fluid. He too had to have a diuretic and a shot every couple weeks. Then he'd pee like crazy and be fine for awhile. He went over the Rainbow Bridge at age 12-1/2 back in 1985. Tiny will do fine with the medications (much has changed since the 1980's) and the new diet plan. Linda in Washington state

I'm praying for Tiny even now. These doggies are part of our families, and when they hurt, so do we.
Awww Tiny is so cute. I know about those diretics. I took two this morning. Praying she will do well eating a sensible doggie diet. Paula
