 Has your beloved Yorkie experienced this?
Today we took our sweetest love to the vet because she almost over night started coughing and developed a distended abdomen! Last week she was walking with us and this week not so much. Sara Lee is 12 yr old, weighed 8.3lb today at our vet. x-rays and blood work were taken and tomorrow we take her to a cardio vet specialist. She has fluid around her lungs and abdomen which is clear, no blood, but no protein. We visit the specialist to rule out CHF or liver cancer.
We are devastated. We know Sara Lee is an older dog, but all of a sudden...this! She has had many teeth removed over the years and was due for her annual cleaning and shots this month.
Have any of you experienced this situation? Is there a positive outcome?
Sara Lee means so much to the whole family. We will do whatever it takes to get her well or at least continue to make her life lush and loved!
I would appreciate any comments, suggestions any of you may have.
Thank you,
jc and family |
