Heart murmur and CHF
Stella has had a heart murmur for over two years. In Feb she was put on medication which helped. Now she’s coughing and on furosemide which can cause uncontrollable peeing and kidney failure. The medicine isn’t working much for her and she coughs in the night most of the time trying to breath for air or cough up fluid. That was something new and it’s hard because she eats normal and her heart rate is good. So it’s the uncertainty of is it time. It can get worse out of no where and I want her to have peace and be at home for her last moments, without rushing to an emergency vet. She hates car rides.
