Hi Everyone,
After two weeks on Sulfatrim Honey's breathing is the same. That rules out
bacterial pneumonia. I spoke with her vet today and she mentioned a few
things. It could be viral pneumonia, or heart related. Ultrasound of her
heart would cost around $200! We are putting that off for now. What could
be seen of it on her x-ray looked okay.
We will bed her on just Carefresh in case she is allergic to pine, and
start a low dose of Lasix to see if that helps. I never had a GP with a
respiratory problem, so any suggestions are welcome. I need your input on
Lasix. If it is scaring from a previous pneumonia what can be done?
Basically Honey is breathing with one lung and has a lot of congestion.
Sometimes she coughs and that clears the congestion, but it returns.
Joe and I want to do what is best for this sweet little girl. She has been
through so much.
Thanks for your help.
Dee
