 My Princess was misdiagnosed
Yorkie Friends,
My little was diagnosed with a protein leak and the vet found that her heart was enlarged to 80% of capacity. Her little body with shake all over and then the vet would give her a shot of Convenia to fight the bacteria and they she would be a puppy again. The last time the vet gave her Fortekor for her heart and Prednizone for the protein leak.
Then I took her to another vet who gave her 3 digital xrays and took blood plus an ultra sound (all for free). I was told that she didn't have a protein leak and that her liver was outside her rib cage (giving her an extended tummy) and that her we had to wean her off the prednizone because it was working against her heart. The xray also showed that she has fluid in her heart and lungs.
We started to wean her down to 1/2 Prednizone for 5 days, then hoping to get her down to 1/4, but my little girl lost the fight on the 5th day of cutting down the Prednizone.
Please, please think long and hard before giving your baby Prednizone.
I would kill just to have her back as cooked with me, peed with me, watched my brush my teeth, so then I would brush hers. She slept with me curled against my tummy and I sorry for all that she had to go thru. I will always luv her and nothing will every replace her. |
