Hi all. I am at a loss for words as ive told everyone before my Nina had a severe hypo episode last week and was in hospital for almost 5 days and was returned home for about 4/5 days. Docs said aside from the hypoglycemia she had rapid heartbeat/breathing they were unclear of why they considered asthma as she has had rapid breathing long before the hypo i brang up to my vet .. on her xray back in feb was a mark in her lungs that we werent sure of but the vet was not alarmed and we wanted to worry about the diabetes firsthand. Now with all that has happened with the hypo we are seeing increased breathing more & more she has been on a steroid with no improvement. Long story short yest she let out a yowel and was panting out of her mouth. We brang her to the hospital immediately where they had her in an oxygen tank and heart failure medicine (just incase that was what was happening) through the night shes shown little to no improvement. She is in pain. She is panting. And they are out of options as a bronchial dialeter has also been tried with no success. The vet here believes it is wrong to take her home and perhaps pass in pain and that it may be best we put her to sleep. I just dont know what the right decision is. My heart is hurting thinking I will be losing my girl for good :( im not asking for answers just if she is in pain and cant breath is this the best option? Thank you all for listening.
 
Any chance of getting a referral to a cardiologist vet? They may have some better idea of how to treat or if that makes sense to do.

Sending hugs for your difficult decision. :bighug:
 
You will know in your heart and mind if it is time.

The only advice I can give, from my own experience, I have never regretted saying good bye too early if they are in pain, only that I said good bye to late.

Hugs and prayers you figure this out.

I'm so sorry to hear this, maybe try getting a second opinion before you make any decisions?

Sending hugs and good wishes your way. :bighug:
 
Sorry you are in such a tough spot :(. I think Tara's and Wendy's suggestion of trying to get a specialist or second opinion might help you make this difficult decision.
