She is resting, but still doing this 'distressed breathing'. The vet said it may be that the drug is making her nervous, hence the hyperventilation. But it seems a mechanical thing to me...like she has to work hard to exhale.
Her skin gets hotter while she is on the drug. As it wears off she cools just a bit.
I worry that she'll get dehydrated again with all this going on but they want me to keep up on the pentoxifylline.
I wish I lived closer to town so it wouldn't be such a worry if she suddenly needed to be seen.
Is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable? Maybe they should've given an anxiolytic?
