She’s drinking excessive amounts of water, ,increased urination which is causing her to have inconveniences .?. , I put my stethoscope up to her lungs and it does sound like she’s retaining fluid in her lungs which is most likely causing her breathing to sound the way it is. So I guess my question is, is there anything I can do to decrease the fluid in her lungs at this time for her breathing ? I just concerned and I couldn’t get a sooner appointment before this coming Thursday. Please lmk Thank you.

She had gotten in a fight about a week prior to giving birth. We lost the pups. I turned her every 2 hours. Made sure she got her meds. Surgery was on a sat. Mon she got up and moved out of her secure area but seemed alert and doing good considering. I got her settled back down but noticed she kept putting her head up on the wall. I'd lay her back down and she'd put it back up there. She stayed like that all night. I took her back to the vet at 6:30am that wed. We got there and she quit breathing about 10 min in the car. Could she have gotten pneumonia? I noticed fluid running out of her mouth

Sammy has hacking attacks where he struggles to get a breath. He has been diagnosed with leukemia which we have decided not to treat. After an attack he will pick up a toy and start playing. Some days it is really bad and other times nothing

On Tuesday, I took my 11 1/2 month old cocker spaniel to Pet Supplies Plus to get groomed. The groomer called 1.5 hours later to let me know he was ready but she wasn't able to clip his nails because he got worked up. When I picked him up, he seemed scared. I assumed it was because he was scared and wanted to leave due to the situation with the nail clipping attempt. As I was driving home, I had to pull over to check on him because he seemed unusual. He was breathing abnormally and not responding to my attempts to get him excited with phrases we use. When I took him home I knew something wasn't right. He was drooling, had a slight wheeze, and a moanlike noise coming from him. I took him to the vet and he was eventually diagnosed with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. After 14 hours of treatment (oxygen therapy, antibiotics - intial diagnoses of pneumonia, and nebulizer) the vet called to say they didn't think he would make it another 1-2 hours. The vet informed me that his oxygen levels went from 92 the night before when I dropped him off to 76 the next morning and suggested going to a specialist. At one point his respiratory rate went to 120. Therefore, we took our baby to Purdue and they put him on a ventilator by 1 pm. Around 3:30 am the next day he took a turn for the worse and they had to physically elevate him to help with drainage that included blood. They called me at 5 am that there isn't much they can do since he hasn't shown any sign of improvement with all the treatment. Therefore, when we arrived at Purdue we said our goodbyes and allowed then to euthanize. Background: He has vomited small amounts of mostly clear phlem a week prior and the morning of his grooming appointment. Other then that he was a HAPPY, LOVING, HEALTHY puppy. We are extremely heartbroken and can't believe this happened. All the vets we encountered said the trachea/bronchial area can easily get damaged and result in noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Is it possible he was injured at the groomer during the "2-3 seconds" she tried to clip his nails for the lungs to fill up that quickly? She said he panted afterwards, calmed down, and then she gave him a bath. Or could this have been something in the works for a time?

Hi, My dog is a Maltese terrior x poodle and he was experiencing a lot of wheezing and coughing to the point where he was gasping for air. Took him to the vet and they said his left side is a bit congested. The vet put him on antibiotics and cortisone. Whilst on the antibiotics the symptoms drastically went away but once the course of antibiotics finished his coughing started to return (nowhere near as bad as previously but still not 100%). We took him back to the vet and they did chest X-rays and said he may have chronic bronchitis as there was still congestion in the lungs with possible lung scarring. So she put us on a different antibiotic (doxycycline) and continued the microlone for a month. I showed a different vet the xrays and he said he has an enlarged heart/congestive heart failure on both sides hence the lung congestion and to add lasix to his medication. The 1st vet did not mention hamish’s heart when showing me the X-ray and she said he actually had a strong heart when listening to it with her stethoscope. Just wondering if the 2nd vet is more on the right track? And what’s the best thing to do from now on?

I have a 7 year old Chihuahua. He always sounds like "he is full of muccus or fluid". It gets worse at night and when he is laying in certain posistions but for the most part its contentious. He sneezes and backwards sneezes several times a day. He makes crackling noises on occatsion to almost clear the fluid. His tounge to me also looks a bit dull in color. My vet took a listen with to his heart and breathing said he sounds fine. He is currently on Ursodile for elivated liver values and hypatio support for liver as well. Im at a loss as two vets have done minimal tests besides a listen and a look over and say he is fine. However, the WORST of the weezing/snoring/backwards sneezing comes at night. help?

I had a 14 year old Chihuahua who passed two days ago. She was diagnosed a year ago with Con genitive heart failure. She was on Furosemide, Vetmedin and Enalapril. She was doing fine until last week. She would drink water but not eat. She was using the bathroom okay. I took her to the vet and they told me the heart med she was on originally affected her liver. They said the liver was extremely enlarged. They gave me an alternative heart med,antibiotic and told me to give her soft dog food and crush her meds into a syringe to get her to eat. After the first two days she acted better and started eating on her own. Then, on the third day it was back to giving her food in the syringe because she would not eat. She would lay there just staring and when she tried to get up her legs would collapse. The vet said she was in the final stages. She slept most of the day and later that night I could tell she was having a hard time breathing. I held her in my arms until she passed. My question is was there something more that could have been done? I feel guilty because I keep thinking what if they could have saved her somehow? I did not want to have her put down. I wanted her to pass in her own home and bed surrounded by her family. Was there something else I could have done at that point?
