well,
i got home last night to find that ozzy was breathing too fast again...so of all things we had to go to the er vet. it had to be done, and i'm thankful they exist- its just so incredibly expensive, and they insist on making their own diagnosis, so it costs even more!!!
luckily, my begging and pleading helped- i asked for them to not xray ozzy- i know what the problem is, he's got this- here are all my receipts, here's his medicine, see! his armpits are bare from being tapped so much...the vet was very nice and went right ahead and tapped him.
here is why i'm so sad...they only got 160 cc's. i'm no vet, but that says to me, that there is more scar tissue forming, making it even harder to breathe- which is why he can't tolerate that much fluid anymore. his respirations were 84/min when i got the the hosp- they shouldn't be more than 40. scar tissue never heals- even if he were to be cured. from what i've read, scar tissue is what ends up hurting the cat the most. (the fluid causes scar tissue). it just makes me sad...thinking of the worst...i guess its inevitable though.
sorry for the depressing update,
tara
