UPDATE ON CANDY - Need help please ASAP? Candy is not good. she seems to improve for a day or so and then she goes backwards again. Her breathing is really fast and her heartbeat is fast. Her whole body is moving with it. She cannot get comfortable anywhere and keeps moving about. she is weak. not eating (I am feeding A/D through a syringe) Her little stomach is so bloated with fluid and it is obviously making her really uncomfortable. The vet tells me that this is normal for Congestive heart failure. she apparently has all the symptoms.
He has put her on Vetmedin 1.25mg. half twice per day.
Also Prilactone 10mg . Half tablet twice per day.
She is so so sad and keeps looking at me asking for help. I really did expect more after her going on Vetmedin but that has not happened. The vet tells me that I am expecting to much too soon but reading different things about Vetmedin on the internet it appears to work quite quickly. why not for Candy?
Please help me I just dont know what to do. Should the Vetmedin be working by now as this is day 6?
Please help with your valued advise?
Many thanks
