Reply To: Just diagnosed enlarged heart need advice
Thank’s anon for reply and advice. I’ve been wrapping her comfortably in her blanket and walk around the house when she has a spell. She quiets down and I do notice the less she coughs, the less she coughs. So I will be picking up the pills that I will cut in 1/4 for her size tomorrow from pharmacy. So at least I feel good the vet said the coughing puts a strain on heart and will she will definitely feel better not coughing so much. She actually didn’t cough at the vets at all today and has had very little coughing since then.
The vet said the echo is taken with someone holding her and takes less time then X-ray. He said it will make the rest of her life more comfortable.I feel the pain and tears of guilt if I don’t give her the heart medication knowing it will help her symptoms of the enlargement. I also know the pain of waiting too long because of not being able to let go as with my Doxie many years ago. Maybe only waited a week too long before saying goodbye when he got really bad. But we’re still guilt ridden and cry about not being able to do it and him suffering .
As of right now like I said she still is active, eating and has energy. I’ll have the weekend to make a decision.
