Sydney has been on low doses of all his hearts meds (furosemide, enalapril, diltiazem, digoxin, vetmedin). For the past few weeks, I've been noticing some coughing coming back, and overall weakness in his hind legs. He's not panting but his breathing does sound nasally. He also groans alot and seems bloated.. We have an appointment with the cardiologist for Wednesday.
What it the usual course of treatment as symptoms become worse? Is it increasing the meds that he is currently on or are there other medications that help.
I'm having a real hard time with this. I feel like I'm losing a tiny piece of Sydney every day. He still has a good appetite, likes to walk around the yard and his major form of exercise is his constant wagging tail . But he does mostly sleep.
I guess I'm looking for your opinions and maybe some thoughts on what I should ask his doctor.
