Main things to do: maintain a healthy weight for him, keep him as calm as you can and keep him out of humidity.
We used Theophylline, but some people don't think that does much good.
Also....Temaril P or prednisone. (mine was on Prednisone at the end when his condition became severe)
Alternating cough meds helped with my recent CT boy. We used Torb alternated with Hycodan. Also on bad nights, I had injectable Torb combined with Ace Pro and it really worked! It makes them loopy, but is enough to get that inflammation down so that they can relax and breathe better.
Good luck. Honestly, my experience is that in the end it will get them...the heart can only take so much; but you can buy some quality time for them with good medical management.
I am so sorry....I know how difficult this condition is. |
