    Monroe went back for a recheck. The crackles in his chest are gone for now, and he seems to be feeling better, so no need to change his medications.
    I was so relieved.

    Monroe started coughing again and laying around a few days ago. His vet listened to his chest today, and there are some crackles.
    This time, she increased his furosemide.
    I asked if his heart disease is progressing, and she said "not necessarily". It also could be related to his chronic allergies.
    She explained it, but I was too distracted by my worries.
    If the higher dose is not helping by tomorrow, I have to increase it even more, but I keep my fingers crossed.
    It has been almost a year now since his diagnosis.
