Hello everyone - and again many thanks for your stories, suggestions and the kindesses! TeddE and I are sooo grateful for you all.
Looking back, I can't believe how calm I sounded! It was unreal to hear him trying in vain to get air into his lungs. Then, the questions about all those drugs!
Ted has lost three pounds! YAY! Done w/o exercising. Normal amounts of his raw food and NO treats must have been what it took.
I stopped the meds all together and I haven't looked back. He is still on the homeopathy. His "moments" are few, if at all, and of short duration. The backyard is way smaller - our walks are shorter - but he seems very content and healthy.
He loves his new groomer who comes to the house and she also has a small breed with CA ! Door bells are still not functioning and I like it
He is still top dog around here. I am not hovering as much anymore...he even helps me out with the veggie garden chasing every little bird that has the audacity to land near him!!!
Again many thanks to you all !
