[QUOTE=stl;4822287]So the vet we went to see today told us the condition is pretty severe, and she prescribed theophylline 100mg for 7 days because Teddy has fluids in his lungs. Enalapril 5mg for 30 days and Furosemide 40mg. We were told to come back after a month to see if the meds are working and if they affect his kidney.
Has anyone tried these meds??[/QUOTE


Hello, I'm sorry to hear that Teddy is unwell. My Lucy was very old but I'm not sure of her age as she was a rescue. She was diagnosed with an enlarged heart in June '16 and was put on 20mg of Furozenol. The dose was doubled six months later and another 5mg added in March '17. She remained on that dose until she passed away in Feb '19. It's good that your vet recommended to check the kidneys in a month's time. I hope that Teddy gets better.
