The new “what did you do to your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVIII

Athena isn't doing well. She is having heart failure. She's on medication at the vet now and they are monitoring her for the rest of the day. Hoping we caught it early. They are setting us up with an appointment with a cardiologist for her.

We lost Rockie to congestive heart failure 6 months after he was diagnosed. He was on medication for it. Broke both of our hearts. Motor popped a headgasket on Friday Dec 28. Saturday night, Rockie passed away. My car is up and running again but Rockie is no longer with us. I can't help but think about it since I got my car back. I am still broken hearted.

That's what I'm reading up on now. Came home with the medication today. She seems to be in good spirits. Doc has asked me to count her respiratory rate while she's sleeping so we can get a good idea of how well the medication is working on the fluid in her lungs.

That's rough brother. Got me in tears just thinking about it for you. I'll certainly be cherishing the rest of my time with her. Thanks for sharing.

What make is even worse he was only 10yrs old. We feed our inside dogs Frum for years. Come to find out it causes Congestive heart disease. It is a no grain dog food. Just when you thought you were feeding them excellent food, that happens. WTF!!!!!

Jar, sorry to read about this. Dealing with pets is sometimes harder than dealing with humans. What makes it worse is when you talk to them. They can't talk back to tell you how they feel.

That sucks. How old?

My cat had heart problems and they wanted to put him on expensive drugs. He was 5 at the time. I found some homeopathic pet stuff and he’s now 15 yrs old.

She's 12-1/2. The drugs are very specialized and very expensive. No real other option though.

Hang in there, she may live a long time. If she tinkles on the floor don't fuse, she can't help it. That is how they get ride of the extra fluid.

JARblue

Oh yeah I know. She's on a diuretic now. And regular bloodwork to make sure the kidneys aren't getting overwhelmed. Thankfully the results yesterday show everything is working great.

I got stained concrete floors and she has a dog door. We are good to go no matter what happens
