Praying for you both tonight, and hoping better results for tomorrow... try to get some good rest tonight.

I commend you for NOT being coersed into taking a very ill puppy home...In MY opinion, they are trying to free up that O2 tent for that other animal that came in and they didnt have enough equipment to treat the cat, so they bunked your baby with the sick cat.....absolutely atrocious!!! So now, if they say your baby is not requiring O2, and she can go home, if she gets into trouble again, and you rush her back in, they wont have an O2 tent for YOU!!!! If at all possible, I would seriously be thinking of moving my baby to a vet school....and do NOT let them sedate your baby in order to "calm her down"....you will get into issues with respiratory acidosis/alkalosis, and that will spiral all out of control and it could end up killing your baby.....I speak from first hand experience....years ago, a vet killed my little Qui Sae doing that very thing.....

Is there any way to create a temp/portable O2 cage or tent for her in case she's at home and does turn blue?

One of the owners of Oscar Newman had this for her Chihuahua. She was O2 to bring home and they made a tent out of plastic. Here is the Facebook post about Maggie: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

Praying for your little Cassie.

Praying for your precious girl. I'm glad you didn't take her home. Why would they send a baby home that turns blue when handled. I hope tomorrow looks much brighter for you and Cassie!

Frankly, I'm shocked that they would even consider sending Cassie home. Have they done new x-rays to check her lungs got improvement? Something stinks here.

broodizt · 09-08-2013, 09:16 AM

The overnight doctor called this morning and said they repeated x-rays and she has taken a step back. She is back in 40% oxygen, although she is not as bad as she was when I first brought her in. They say that she does have a moderately enlarged heart so she may have CHF, the treatment of which is a diuretic like lasix. They still don't know what it is. They are doing another x-ray within the hour. Pray for Cassie!!!!

Praying for Cassie and you.

Praying for Cassie. I'm glad you insisted on keeping her in the hospital.

Bellabean · 09-08-2013, 09:34 AM

Still praying for Cassie!

broodizt · 09-08-2013, 10:51 AM

Called for update, new x-rays show some improvement with diuretic. They will continue to keep her on O2 and diuretic.

Sammy Mommy · 09-08-2013, 11:27 AM

I hope the diuretic helps. Praying for your sweet Cassie, and you too.
