YT 3000 Club Member | Chester is in Icu I had to take Chester to the emergency vet on Christmas night late because I noticed his breathing wasn't right and it was very labored. He is in the emergency ICU and they think he has heart failure because I just found out he's got a heart murmur. He's getting Lasix to get rid of the extra fluid and a med to help his heart pump better and he's still on oxygen. I went down to see him today but it gets him to too worked up so I don't want to bother his breathing as much as I want to see him. I'm really having a hard time with him not being here I love this dog to Pieces he's a little over 15 and he's the love of my life. |

YT 3000 Club Member | I just talked to the vet about an hour ago they redone his chest x-rays his heart failure is better but now the Lasix to get rid of the fluid is drying him out. I want to lease talk to the cardiologists there's cardiologist is not there right now someone at least get their input before I decide what to do. My heart is breaking this dog has had the best of everything and he goes everywhere with me we've traveled so much together. |

YT 3000 Club Member | I finally got to see him today today hold him and cuddle him and I sang to him while the tech had oxygen in front of him. He was pretty perky and he has been eating. Im just concerned about the oxygen, he cannot be in a tent forever. They started Viagra today which is for pulmonary hypertension which can help. They was wanting cardiologist to do a echo but he is not even in town cuz of Christmas and it wont change treatment. I just would like too see him home for a few days if his breathing gets better to decide what I need to do. I will not let him suffer. I find the decision hard since he dont look horrible, but the vet said he was better this afternoon than in the morning. |

YT 3000 Club Member | I went and got to see him today and cuddled with him and sang to him while the tech had the o2 in front of him. They started Viagra on him which is for pulmonary hypertension. He is getting a med to make his heart pump stronger. They was talking about a echo, but it wouldn't change the course of treatment and he isn't even in town at this time anyway. The hard part is he does not look horrible so that makes it harder. I will see him today around noon or so and hope they let me see him again. I just have to pray to do what is best for him and not let him suffer. |
