Mrs Mop Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I don't know how I missed the pictures of the amount of fluid Spike has but that isn't good, that needs getting rid of asap. I would phone the vet and ask if you can increase the diuretics especially if he is coughing. I can give Joe extra if he is coughing but it is important with heart problems that fluid doesn't build up like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taking three every morning and that swelling has gone down to practically nothing. I will ring the vet just to be sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ring the vet just to be sure though Thank goodness, I am really pleased that the swelling has gone down and is nearly normal but keep your eye on it, if the tablets are balanced there shouldn't be any swelling. I nearly fell off my chair with shock when I say the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
