Hello Everyone,
Not been on here in a while, been moving house etc and been very busy.
Benji has been back and forward to the vet for a few months now with fast movement when breathing, vet took an xray and then again a few weeks later and noticed his heart had enlarged by about 30% . (Last xray was about two weeks ago).
Benji is on Furosemide 1.2ml twice daily. I took him to the vet yesterday about tea time as his breathing seemed a lot worse and was almost like his head was jumping? If that makes sense. The vet injected his vein in his ear with the meds to drain the fluid of his heart, after about 5mins his heart rate dropped a lot. His ear never bled though which is another sign the bloods not getting around his body (just to main organs). He also gave benji a heart medicine (tablet) which he's to get one every night, benj meant to be going back next thurs for a check.. But today he's back to the *head banging* and breathing a lot faster... I don't know what to do, I know if I take him to the vet they will prob want to pts, I don't want to see him suffer I obviously want the best for my boy but he's still eating dandidion leafs happily, don't think he's touched his food this morning, and he still seems alert.
I just don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice on this sort of thing? I really don't want him suffering, I hate seeing him like this . The vet did prepare me for the worse and said his heart might have enough and he may just pass away, so now everytime I go out I'm worried he's gone .
Advice is greatly appreciated xx
