HopeForHounds Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Her breathing has been pretty bad off and on for the past month. All in all, Miki, our vet is very pleased with her. Her weight is up from June to a whopping 57 1/2 lb, which is great for her considering we don't want her carrying too much weight right now. She raced at 59 lbs. We have a bronchodialator to try for two weeks. If it makes a difference she will stay on it, if not we go to pred every other day. Other than that she is perfect, lungs nice and clear and she was very busy checking the place out and greeting everyone. Gotta love her. What really got to me is that, as you know, she isn't allowed to go anywhere. This trip in the car was the first time she's been past our street corner since June when she was hospitalized. I took her out through the garage and you should have seen her. She was dancing and prancing, so happy to be going anywhere. Thank God she loves going to the vet and wasn't disappointed at where she ended up.

Batmom Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hugs and best luck! Due to loose dogs in our neighborhood, we don't walk much anymore. But my kids get a lot of pleasure out of poking around the front yard on leash, and going for rides in the car. Don't know if either of those things would be safe or satisfying for her.

HopeForHounds Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hugs and best luck! Due to loose dogs in our neighborhood, we don't walk much anymore. But my kids get a lot of pleasure out of poking around the front yard on leash, and going for rides in the car. Don't know if either of those things would be safe or satisfying for her. Sadly no, anything that causes excitement (like a ride in the car) triggers a breathing crisis. The trip to the vet is the safest one we can do.
