Thank you Tracie and everyone else. You guys are so supportive and sweet. He certainly has the zest to fight and to live. I will support him for as long as it takes.
Will try to adjust the diet and greens.
Thank you! Will keep you guys posted on his progress.
Thank you cuttlefishh and Karrie and AHBD- you guys are the best for replying.
We will keep trying the meds - cuttlefishh I do keep a journal of his weights. No matter what I feed him or not feed him he always steadily gains fluid weight despite diuretics or enalapril or pimodendan. Used to be...
He doesn’t really drink a lot. No. Because he is on twice a day diuretic I give him some water if he wants it so he won’t get dehydrated.
His kidneys and liver were normal per labs.
Haku is white one on the right. When they draw out fluid he is actually very skinny. 345g. Thursday they drew out 60 cc of fluid so he lost 60 g of weight that was all fluid. The vet doesn’t say the beardie in question (white )is overweight.
He always wants to stay upright. Vet did ultrasound and X-ray. Wanted to culture fluid to make sure wasn’t infectious. He has been filling up slowly every month. Then if don’t aspirate he can’t breathe.
