Chester is in Icu - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am so sorry to hear that Chester is so ill. I hope the Viagra helps him. We had a foster who was put on it and he lived for a few years when they originally only gave him months!
His heart issues were due to Chagas disease. I hope that Chester has the same results with the medication and can come home soon.
Will say a prayer for him....and for you.

Prayers for Chester. I hope he is getting better. It is so heartbreaking to have our dogs sick. Just your presence with him is a comfort to him. If he gets too anxious that's not good. I just pray he can go hone with you soon.

I brought Chester home on Friday about 7 pm and he had been off of oxygen for about 12 hrs. He was really anxious on Saturday afternoon and he was pacing so I went and got some Trazadone for him and it made a big difference.. He has been better on no pacing and he slept with me last night. He has been eating better in the 14 hrs. I was giving him low fat cottage cheese and some baby food. He like the meal mixers from Stella and Chewys which is high in fat and protein if it is dry. He is less restless and does not like like his pills.He has bit me a couple of times.

Chester is doing better, and he is eating better. I brought him home on Friday about 7pm and he had been off his oxygen for 12 hrs before I picked him up. He got restless Saturday night and I had to get some Trazadone. He ate some low fat cottage cheese and some baby food, and some stella and chewy meal mixers. He does not like his pills and has bit me so I got a pill gun and it works fairly well. Im exhausted but I will do anything for him.

So happy to hear Chester has come home, keeping him in my prayers.

ladyjane · 01-01-2018, 05:22 AM

So happy to hear Chester is home. Maybe put his pills in with his meals? I do that with one of my fosters....funny how he knows there is a pill if I hand it to him, but if it is in his dish, he doesn't realize it.

sandy simpson · 01-01-2018, 06:38 AM

Yeah Chester is home! I will pray for him to get better. Glad he is eating and back next to you!

SO happy to hear that you were able to bring Chester home! Sending lots of well wishes so that he will continue to get better and stronger!

So glad to hear that Chester is improving. Your news was a great way to start YT in 2018.

chestermama · 01-02-2018, 02:28 AM

Chester is eating better today so some of his pills I can put in the baby food or low-fat cottage cheese and he will eat it before he didn't have enough of an appetite to eat anything like that. I will make a appointment in the morning to get a refill on his meds with my regular vet and to maybe repeat his blood work to see how his kidneys are doing. He was Restless last night and we didn't get much sleep and I give him a Trazodone.

chestermama · 01-02-2018, 02:34 AM

Chester done pretty good yesterday and pretty good today he got a little restless and I give him some Trazodone. He's eating a lot better today and I'm able to give him some pills in his food so that helps. I'm going to call my vet in the morning to redo the lab work to see what his kidneys are doing because of the Lasix and do refills on the meds Foster's and Smith is obviously a lot cheaper. The one minute I have to get through the vet it is not available at Foster & Smith.

chattiesmom · 01-02-2018, 04:54 AM

What a blessing to hear that Chester is continuing to improve. Your family remains in my thoughts and prayers.

Lovetodream88 · 01-02-2018, 08:58 AM

I’m glad he is eating better and doing better.

ladyjane · 01-02-2018, 10:25 AM

Happy to hear that Chester is improving and that you can get his meds in him without stressing him....and yourself!
