Hi,
Yes! I do have him on lasix, encard and Vetmedian (sp?) twice a day. They had told me that I could give him the lasix 3 times a day to help with the fluid... only problem is I cannot do it during the week because when I am at work I cannot come home and let him out enough. So I have been giving it to him more on the weekends.

(Fingers crossed) he has been doing well since noon today He has been acting more like himself. I think I will take him back to the vet this week to see if there is any other medications that he can have that might be better. They offered to refer me to a cardiologist, but I am not sure how he would do on the trip (2 hr drive) up there. Last time I took him to the vet and they did xrays, he was so excited and worked up, that his tongue and gums turned blue and he had to be given oxygen. It was a horrible experience for both of us!

Thank you so much for the advice!
