hello, just found this site last night, so wish I had seen it weeks months back,
my conner cairn terrier, has CHF ,collapsing trachea , and now early stage kidney failure, the vet said there was nothing to do but keep in him comfortable, that was it, I had taken him in cause he was vomiting, and I thought was constipation she said no was diarrhea , gave meds for that he is straining so hard, meds worked, he seemed almost back to normal, I had made arrangement to let him go, but canceled after he seemed better over Fri, Sat and part of sunday, then he stopped eating again, it is now wed, he is still straining to go, it went from almost normal back to thin liquidy, still drinking some but no where near as much as he was, and loosing weight. he is getting 4 lasiks a day 2 morning and night along with 1 1/2 pill for heart each time, plus remidahl for pain no mention was made about cutting or stoping the lasiks
