Rough night for Sammy. We just got home a little while ago from the EC. He suddenly started coughing and sounded awful....very wet sounds. His gums looked ok....but I just did not like the way he sounded. His oxygen saturation was fine but they were concerned about possible aspiration pneumonia so they did xrays...was not that; but his heart (left side) is enlarged and the vet seems to think this could be pulmonary related. I will call my vet in am and ask about a cardio consult.
He also changed his pain meds from bupranex to torbugesic since that will also help with the coughing. He certainly does not need to be coughing with a hernia repair. Poor little guy.
He also will need that every 4 hours so I guess it will be a sleepless night here. I just hope he is ok. Brought back horrible memories of my little foster Ozzy who passed from CT. No, Sammy does not have CT, but he did not sound good at all.
