White is Bad, Dark is Good...

We took Maggie to the vet today for her 3 week check-up from the day we were told she had a 50/50 chance. The vet was very impressed at how well Maggie was doing. Her lungs sounded much better, unlike 2 weeks ago when she said "well she isn't any worse." The vet gave us lots of praise for taking such good care of Maggie she said without all of the breathing treatments and couppage she wouldn't have been as well. We were told we could stop the breathing treatments and couppage, yippee for me!! We are keeping her on doxycycline for 2 more weeks then "calling it a day" as the vet put it. You can see in her x-rays below, her lungs are much better. Normal lungs appear black on x-rays, as you can see below, before Maggie's lungs were almost completely white, they are now much darker. So white is bad and dark is good. Her lungs are almost completely clear, she may have scarring that will last her lifetime but that shouldn't be a problem since we won't be entering her into any races. She has tons of energy and enjoys getting into trouble. We are happy that she has finally received a clean bill of health!! YAY!!
