Hello Jay,
I was wondering if you might update your avatar with your doggie Joshua and it seems you have - looks great. Hope he is on the mend real soon.

Good news! I just spoke to one of the vets and Joshua's on the diuretic and is responding favorably to it, so apparently his blood test results were good also. He's standing up, his "cardio cough" is gone, his chest x-ray shows a lot of improvement, his appetite's back, and he's been peeing in his water bowl like he does when he has to go and I don't let him out of his cage fast enough! (I don't know how he manages to aim so accurately like that. Grown men can't. I've seen him do it at home and he isn't even looking.) So he's acting like his normal self again. He'll continue on the diuretic IV drip for two more days then they'll do more tests and advise me further.

Now maybe I can get some sleep tonight. *Phew!*

A HUGE thank you to everyone for your well-wishes too!

By the way, that's a very beautiful black German Shepherd. My next-door neighbors have a female one named Whitney that belonged to their deceased father and she's a very friendly sweetheart. I used to tease my wife that I have a girlfriend, Whitney. When her original owner was alive Whitney always used to come up to the fence and stick her paw through to "shake hands" with me. I'd always tell her "Pleased to meet you" and her owner would laugh and laugh. Now she's being cared for by his adult children, who brought her with them to his funeral service as a family member. (Not the church service but the graveside one.) I remember going next door to attend his wake, and she came over to pay me a visit and be petted, and try to climb into my lap and kiss my face. (Unfortunately they stopped her. I wouldn't have minded.)
