Hi,
I have not posted for a long time but know this site is always good for advice. I rescued Popsy about 3 years ago and she had a slight heart murmur then. It has got worse over time and she is on Vetmedin and Frusomide. The last few days she has got very bad and her breathing has become laboured. The vet gave her a boost of drugs and asked if I wanted her PTS but I just could not bear the thought so brought her home to see how she goes the next few days. She has a slight chest infection so that is not helping.
My question is will this improve or is this a slippery slope. The vet said she might pull through but I am not sure what to think.
Some honest advice would be appreciated.
Her stomach is slightly bloated so I know that means a fluid build up but have people seen this worsening in dogs and then them get better for a while?
Thanks in advance for any help. Am clutching at straws because she is my little princess and I can't bear to think this might be the end.
