My sweet Aspen had to be rushed to the emergency vet last night (7/17/19). He is my life. He has congestive heart failure and needs to be in an oxygen kennel to help him breath. The vet said that while he was in the oxygen he got a little bit better and he needed to spend at least one night in the hospital. Of course, I said yes. This is the same emergency hospital that I lost his little brother, Conner in 2015. The vet said that they needed to do a chest x-ray to see what was going on with his heart. (I know I'm jumping around, but my mind isn't working properly I got no sleep last night with worry). He said that his heart was almost filling his chest cavity. We discussed many things and I was not at the point of putting him down yet and the vet didn't totally recommend that. We did blood work also but the tests weren't in before I went home.
They called me this morning and said that the night of oxygen has helped him but he was having some issues when he was taken off of the oxygen. His bloodwork showed elevated kidney levels, which is also caused by his heart medications. The emergency vet said that he would call my primary vet and discuss his issues with them and see how he is doing throughout the day, while trying to wean him from oxygen. He did not feel it was time to put him down and I have opted to keep him in the oxygen one more night to see how that helps him. We are going to update some of his medications to see if that helps his heart and kidneys. The sad thing is, the meds to help the heart damage the kidneys.
The vet said that he would call me back before his shift was over and give me an update on Aspen. I will do whatever it takes to make him better, although with this NASTY disease, he won't get better. There are many things that I have to consider and my heart if distroyed right now.
I am asking for help to help save him.
THANK YOU, Aspen's Mom
