Guest Energy11 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The "leaking out of her eyes" could be the excess fluid build up in her body. Hopefully, the increased Lasix will take care of the fluid overload. Love, hugs, and lots of good luck! Love from the mountains!

TheFullHouse Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Glad to hear she's doing okay today. I'm so sorry you all have to travel this road. I traveled a road like this with Emmy and it's so very hard. It's up one day and down the other and very hard on the emotions. I keep you all in my prayers daily. Give your sweet baby a kiss for me and I'm sending a huge hug to you.

Tracey Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 I don't know whether it's easier to look for an update on page one or here, so I'm posting this in both places... UPDATE TUESDAY, AUGUST 25 Here's where we're at today. Cosmo doesn't seem to be coughing any more. At all. Which is surprising, especially if you ask the vet who said her breathing should be a lot worse by now. She's eating but she's being picky. I did some research yesterday to see how many calories she needs since she's on all people food now, and I came up with anywhere between 1500-1800 calories for a 60lb dog. So far today she's had about 600 calories in the form of two jars of baby food, a cup of pudding and some peanut butter. I figure with one or two more attempts throughout the day I can get the rest into her without too much hassle. She sure does like the pudding if nothing else. My biggest concern still is the swelling in her feet. Her front foot and her left rear aren't too bad any more, but the right rear is still really swollen and it makes it really difficult for her to get around. I suppose I sound nuts but I really think she'd feel okay except for that. We have an appointment at the vet at 6:00 pm on Thursday since she suggested another xray. Mainly we're just not sure what's going on since the symptoms still don't add up. Why is the swelling going down in two legs but not the other? Why did her cough go away? It would be easier to say this is all the osteo at work if her breathing was getting worse and she was coughing more. Not that I'd wish that on her of course. But it would make it easier to know what to do. But with everything resolved except for the swelling in her foot, it makes it more difficult to know if we should press on or not. She's up to 60mg of lasix twice a day. Wonder if that's enough? Quote ...............Chase (FTH Smooth Talker), Morgan (Cata), Reggie (Gable Caney), Rufus (Reward RJ).

Guest GreysAndMoreGreys Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 A few ideas on the cough and the swelling in the limbs Lasiks will reduce fluid build up, so if there was any fluid build up around her lungs then the lasiks will help reduce that and in turn reduce the coughing. Same for the limbs. If her activity level is reduced and she's laying around more it would not be odd to find swelling on one side more then the other.
