Having read lots of threads I see people use echinacea
I have a bottle how many drops should I put in water bowl? Leo is not well we are worming him and giving metacam
UD
After taking Leo to yet another vet last night as he was deteriorating (rapid breathing and coughing and nose up in the air) the vet inspected the xrays previously taken. Where they had previously been analyzed nothing out of the ordinary was found. This vet says she can see dark areas on the lungs which may indicate lung scarring or water on the lungs.
She gave him a shot of penicillin and metacam and he instantly became more active, eating, drinking, pooping and his nose settled down (it was really flared up), he is still rapid breathing but not seriously rapid breathing.
However tonight he is taking a turn again getting worse. Could this be the penicillin wearing off?
We gave him metacam this morning and this evening, along with his lapizol for EC.
He is in first thing Monday morning for new x-rays to see if they can get a better look at his lungs.
Are there any blood tests I can request? I know there is one for EC which I would like to test both Jemima and Leo to see if they are positive.
What other blood tests can I request?
The other option is an ultrasound for the heart, however they do not analyse the data it would need sending off.
I spoke about possible heart disease, and that the liquid on the lungs could be an affect of heart disease however she doesn't think it is. She believes he has some kind of pneumonia type illness that may have resulted in scarring in the lungs, or liquid on the lungs.
I have been checking his poo every time he goes to the litter tray and they are darker and slightly smaller but satisfactory. I've been watching him ALL DAY, slowly he has gotten worse with his breathing.
Any advice much appreciated thank you xxx
