4 nights ago I noticed she hadn't eaten and was having trouble breathing. I brought her to the vet Wed and she spent 2 nights at emergency ER for congestive heart failure. She has SAM and SAS. She's been home for a day and I'm struggling to give her meds, she gags and now it seems to drool out of her mouth. I don't want to traumatize her at ER again if there's not much else that can be done. I'm seeing my regular vet again Monday. She sleeps all day. She hasn't eaten in 5-6 days. Her breath is terrible and she smells like urine. Her breathing is shallow and short but it doesn't seem labored. She was drinking a lot but not much anymore even though she's on a diuretic to remove fluid from her lungs. It's totally tearing me up but she seems peaceful. Especially if I gently pet her nose or forehead while she's resting. I don't know if I should just leave her be or keep forcing the meds down her throat. I'm just sitting here waiting for a sign from her to help or leave her be. And i'm just destroyed.
