greyhead Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Just now seeing this. I am so impressed that you were able to give CPR and get Lazer to the vet under those harrowing circumstances. How terrifying! Hoping he continues to improve. Sending you a big hug across the miles. Same here, hon. Lots of prayers and white light for you and Laser!

Potomacpupsmom Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Checking in to see how Lazer is doing. Did you call the cardiologist back to tell him/her that Lazer is developing a cough now?

EllenEveBaz Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Holding Lazer and his family in the light. I, too, only know a little bit about a-fib in humans; that it can be managed for years through various means. I agree about calling to report the cough.

LuvAPuppy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Fib patients are usually short of breath, that's one of the earliest human signs and it's because the body is not getting oxygenated. A cough is not unusual either because if the heart isn't working effectively, the lungs are collecting fluid so do call if you haven't because he may need a diuretic (laxix, salix or bumex although I'm not sure if they use bumex in critters). If he were hospitalized they could put him on IV cardizem and lasix I suppose...they do humans....

3DogNite Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Lorinda, this was my first "stop" this evening. Hoping that the power of GT has given Lazer some comfort overnight. I re-read this thread and am amazed at your actions after you heard the GSOD. How are you holding up? Hugs to you and Lazer. :grouphug I feel dazed, exhausted, and helpless! I don't feel like I'm doing anything,, just watching and waiting, it's frustrating. Laser is resting calmly, but I can see his heart jumping frantically in his chest. And my brain is going over every possible scenario,, hoping for the best, but wanting to have a plan for the unthinkable. More update post 1 Yes the power of GT felt here in phx !! Thanks!
