Thank you everyone!

@gidget529 -Such a sad time for you - that is so heartbreaking. I am so sorry. The vet said Tussigon (sp?) may be in Ted's future at some point, too.

@beachdog - Dr. C has reduced the amount of the hydromet. Whew! He was soo drugged out. Had to close all bedroom doors, fenced off living room and put gate in front of stairs. Today with the new dose he is ready to go (but everything is gated - he is only allowed down the hall and in the kitchen). A totally changed dog. More energy than I expected!

@teffiemoore - that's fine, really its ok. Please just concentrate on caring for him. I know how much care goes into these little heart stealers. As for Ted, he is doing really great. Not one sound. Not a honk, cough, no baffley sounds like a paper covering an air hose and flapping (the only way I could describe it). Even after three sneezes - not a honk or cough-or snort at all. Our days are pretty much just housework and if I run to the store I have my daughter keep watch. It has only been a couple weeks and I am still hovering over him. Every little noise I run. Sheesh. He does try to follow me wherever I go, the sweetie. He just can't go down the stairs and he doesn't like it. We walk around in the backyard a bit with the other two. And that is it. Or, watch tv. Right at 10 he whines to go out and to bed. He's back to his ole self and I can't be happier.

Should he still be honking a little? The doc was surprised he wasn't making any sounds when she called. I told her he was right next to the phone, licking my chin. She seemed surprised? ( The only sound he does make is alot of whiney for more food.)
