Chihuahua's question about Pulmonary Edema

Question

My dog is 8 yrs old and was diagnosed with grandma seizures and pulmonary edema his organ functions are normal but consistently cough all day. I can't afford the 3 medications that he needs for his edema monthly so is it possible for me to put him on a low sodium diet being that his seizure medication (K-Bro Vet) also have sodium in it could that help decrease the fluid retention in his lungs

Accepted Answer

Without knowing the cause of Kenzo's fluid retention, I am not sure if sodium restriction will help or not, as there are many causes of the fluid buildup.  Since your veterinarian knows more about what is going on with him, it would be better to ask this question of them, and they can let you know if it may help, or at least won't hurt.  I hope that he does well.
