I am so sorry, I will keep her in my prayers. I had to make that decision with my pom in February. She was 12 and had Cushing's Disease and liver and heart disease. SHe did well for quite awhile on the heart medicine after her initial episode and I so hope that is the case with Missy. In February me dtr called and said Maya was breathing really strange so I rushed home and ran her to my vet, they took her in and put her in an oxygen tent and gave her IV meds to take some fluids off her and told me to call in 1 1.2 hours. They called me and said she had stopped breathing and restarted her heart on her own and that I should come back if I wanted to see her. It was the hardest thing I had to do to tell them if she stopped again before I got there to let her go. When I got there she had stopped again and my vet was in the back with her and they had me come in there and she was on a surgical table with a oxygen cone on her face and she was trying to come back again, her eyes were non responsive so I held her for awhile and then we let her go peacefully. So I think it is good that Missy has responded to treatment and if they can stabilize her there are so many treatments for the heart that can give them added time. My heart goes out to you and please keep us posted. |
