My Baby could use some prayers

Last Wednesday Baby was throwing up and not acting like herself so I took her to the vet. The vet listened to her and said that she has 'loud lung sounds' indicating fluid on her lungs. Her heart rate was also 200. Baby had labs drawn, xrays, urinalysis, and thyroid test. Her labs came back good, xray showed an enlarged heart (its sitting on her sternum), urinalysis showed a low specific gravity (dilute urine). I will find out results of the thyroid test tomorrow.

So to sum it up...she has an enlarged heart, kidney disease, possible asthma, and possible hyperthyroid. The vet suggested I see a specialist to see if its a true heart or lung problem. Unfortunately, I can't afford it.

Baby received a lasix and steroid shot, and convenia. I'm not sure what the convenia was for??!! I'm giving her 75 mls of fluids subq every other day. She was eating/drinking some, but now it has slacked off and she is continuing to throw up. Any thoughts on this? Vet thinks its possibly due to a high thyroid (don't know the results of the test yet). If she has a high thyroid she can't be treated for that and the kidneys because it will destroy the kidneys.

Please pray that my girl will feel better and that I will be able to provide for her the best that I can. Thanks!

My Patch is going through a lot too. Patch had gotten convenia for his UTI's because its one injection that lasts for two weeks, because Patch is hard to pill. Its not easy I know, watching them go through this.

Many many Prayers and for Baby.
