The "gallop" they described refers to the irregular heartsounds they heard, similar to a galloping horse's hooves. Since it is an irregularity, and not a nice regular heart pace, the blood doesn't get pumped out as it should. Like a mechanical pump, it backs up, in the case of a human, into the lungs, organs and extremeties and other areas. If the kidneys are compromised or can't keep up for whatever reason, you can get swelling and weight gain. As I mentioned I'm not a vet and cats might be different. I am trying to be sysinct here and I hope I haven't gone on too long. It could be something to watch in Luna and it's good to know most of the time, in humans, it's an easy fix.

It has an automatic lens cover (no lens cap to lose) and is small enough to fit in the pocket of my jeans! It has a zoom (standard on modern digital cameras) and a wider angle lens than most pocket-sized point and shoot cameras, good for landscapes and large buildings. Like most current pocket cameras, it can also take videos, something I find really fun. I love my camera. :)Laurie and Odelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160352835343733761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-30639858214497240412010-01-07T08:34:53.369-08:002010-01-07T08:34:53.369-08:00Laurie, that sunrize is lovely.... what kind of ca...Laurie, that sunrize is lovely.... what kind of camera are you using? I'm not entirely happy with the little Kodak I have. Of course, it's years old, one of the first few generations of digital snappers.Elaine Schaefer Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659700039995005561noreply@blogger.com
