And I care and many do here.
Alright sometimes with small breed dogs, the size of the heart can look a bit large on Xray. That is why it is best to have an expert look at them if you can.
Okay did this vet prescribe any treatment for fluid in the lungs?
Also I know Norway is cold. Is there a way you could limit his time outside?
Also with lung issues (if there are some) great humidity is good. 50% . Think about a bedroom humidifier.
And extra humidity should not hurt.
Keep us updated. and I so hope everything turns out well |
I'll keep you posted.
The nearest teaching hospital is in Oslo, about 1490 kilometers away....
I do think that the vet performing the ultrasound is a good one, so I dont want to rush into something. He's been a vet for quite some years and i know pet owners that use him rather than their local clinic.
About the xrays. The first vet told me about the size and that it could look large on small dogs, thats why she wanted a second opinion and got the second vet to look at it. And he also sees fluid in the lungs. The vet did not prescribe any drugs, and I think its wise to wait for the results. Dont like giving drugs if he dont need them.
Its cold in Norway, so Billy gets only short time outside. A small play time in the snow, and going outside for the usual pee and poop things. Im trying to have him relaxed and calm. Oh, forgot to mention that when he goes out to play he has warm clothes on. If its really cold, he also have a warm knitted sweater under the fleece suit. Have also bought paw socks but havent tryed them on yet. Humidifier... Well, i have to think about that. He isnt coughing so much that it bother him.
Tnx for the good advices, the hugs and the links. Im going to the pet store today to see if they could have anything i could mix with the kibbles. What is nutrical? He's 5 months, could he get hypoglucemia? I read that after 4 months there is no danger....??
