I just talked to the vet's tech.

I can pick Dexter up at 2PM.
His breathing is slowing down but is still fairly rapid.
They are now thinking it is not asthma but some kind of lung infection or irritation.

I asked again about possible heart failure and was told his heart looked good and sounds OK.

I will keep you updated.
Please keep him in your thoughts & prayers.

Many vibes and prayers for sweet Dexter's quick recovery, and for calm for his Mom and sister.

Sadie & I feel whole again...
Dexter is home.


He has had a lot of medications which I will list tomorrow.
His doctor showed me his x-rays and by the way he responded to the asthma meds that is now his tentative diagnosis.

When we get his urine & blood results tomorrow, if all goes well, they said then they can rule our anything else that might be contributing to the problem.
Right now....it all looks hopeful.

Your support means the world to me.

Oh, Dexter! Welcome home, fella! Glad you're feeling a little better, and I hope you'll be 100% real soon.
Give your Mum and sister a good cuddle!

Dexter was hungry when he got home and ate like a little piggy.

Sadie stayed with him in tandem until they both settled down.
I have never seen anything like her reaction to him being gone.
Their attachment to each other is amazing.

Dexter's breathing is much slower & less stressful.
I hope that a good nights sleep will help him.
Thanks again for your support...
it really helps.

I am not sure how I missed this yesterday, Lei!
I am so sorry Dexter isn't feeling well, but am so relieved that he is back at home with you and Sadie where he belongs. Lots of vibes headed your way that Dexter feels much better soon and that the test results come out ok. Him eating is a good sign
