Rottweiler's question about Pulmonary Fibrosis

Question

Our great friend Maxie is 13 years old and weighs 75 lbs. Maxie is a mixed breed and has some Rottweiler mixed in.  She still has a good appetite although she has all the other symptoms mentioned above.

Maxie has been to the vet and has had X-rays and blood work. The X-rays shows the problems in one lung. The vet did not prescribe any medication and after reading this article I’m disappointed that they didn’t.

I’ll look online for herbal medicines and call the veterinarian to discuss their recommendations for medications.

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure from your question if Maxie has trouble breathing, or with walking and having bowel movements? Without knowing more information, I have a hard time commenting on what might be going on with her or if there are possible treatments.  If she has been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, she certainly would benefit from medications, and calling your veterinarian to discuss treatment would be a great idea.
