Odie's heart

Today Stampy and I went to the vet for his swollen neck. He's on more antibiotics, but his other lymph nodes aren't swollen and he seems to feel fine, so it's not a big deal.
The vet called this afternoon because she called WSU about Odin's heart. (I mentioned, in passing, that Odin has little episodes where he looks like he has dog Parkinson's, and she said those are "afib attacks" & were pretty significant.) They are going to put Odin on yet another heart medication, this one is one that is usually the big guns for when dogs are on their death bed. She said he shouldn't be feeling so bad all the time. Also, they're going to put on a Halter (Holter?) monitor to see exactly what his heart is doing. WSU is going to mail one over, they'll have to strap him into it for 24 hours, then we'll mail it back, and 24 hours later they should know exactly what is going on with the "episodes" and whether Odin is a candidate for a pacemaker.
