Well, here's the latest on Bell'a condition...
She had an appointment on Monday to see what was causing her excessive thirst & increased urination and just as I suspected, it was a side effect of her medications.
Because her cough/honking episodes are significantly decreased to maybe 4-5 a day she had her Temaril-P dosage tapered to 1/2 tab twice a day and the Val-Torbugesic cough suppressant discontinued.
She had her Thyroid checked and I am told it came back within normal levels...yeh!
So, I guess my girl is just on the lazy
side and does need to try to work her way back into a little exercise in conjunction with her diet. She's still down 1/2 pound...hoping to see more drop off soon so she can go from this
to her former self,
!
She's also sleeping all through the night now with maybe just one (if that) cough/honk episode just before rising.
I can't tell you all how happy I am to see Bella down from 50+ to maybe 5 cough/honking episodes a day!
Best of all...my Bella seems much more herself now and not looking frightened as much when these episodes occur.
Thank you again to all of you (you know who you are!) for all your
& well wishes for my Bella-boo!
