Happy had a good day yesterday, on our trip to Delano.  (My folks and I drove over, about 170 miles, to visit my grandparents in the cemetery.)  It was a beautiful warm day there, and she was in a good mood, perky, enjoyed the ride.  No problems with syncope, and only a moderate amount of coughing.  Same again today.  Plenty of energy.  Some coughing, but in a good mood.  She seems to feel much better on the half enalapril 2x/day. 

Happy’s now gone 3 days without fainting or apparent weakness. 

The only real concern is that she’s not eating her cardiac food.  Last week, her appetite was way up.  Now appetite is way down in the morning.   As the day goes on, she gets an appetite, but still doesn’t want the special heart food.  Doesn’t like it.  She’ll eat other stuff, like cottage cheese and little bits of baloney.  Today in the morning, she didn’t even want cottage cheese.  Tonight when I went by it looked like she’d eaten some of the heart diet, but I forgot to ask.  Maybe we should mix the heart food with solid gold or something she likes better?  I should ask the vet…
