 Thank you for your prompt response to my concern -
I did take him to the vet this afternoon. He has an enlarged heart its pressing on his trachea. They think he has Cushing's, as well. His ALP was over 2000 too. The vet said that testing him for Cushing's is putting him through alot and we could do that if we wanted but there's no decisive way to no at this point if he has it or not. I said what I cared about now was his quality of life. I don't want to put him through ANYTHING that may be too much unnecessarily. She also said they could have cardiologists come and look at the x-rays and do an ultrasound for more details. She didn't say it would be diagnostic necessarily and I'm questioning why do all that. We already know he is very sick. But he seems ok as long as he's not coughing like crazy. She gave me a prescription for an antibiotic just in case he picked up something and one for Hydrocodone. So I'm just hoping... I don't know what else to do. |
