such a sad condition. Minnie was diagnosed 10 days ago.. a milky substance called chyle forms in the chest cavity and squeezes the lungs. She was drained at diagnosis and today was the follow up in which she is being drained again. She acts normal other than her heavy abdominal breathing and there us a chance she can overcome it with the supplement rutin and continuous draining until the routin and her body can fight it. We want to give her a chance anyway. She and her sister are 10.
The heart doc actually said today's xray of her lungs were more pleasing to him than 10 days ago... before they looked blunt and rough at the ends and today looked smooth soooo hopes of room to expand of the lungs if the chyle indeed shall be cleared up! (music to this praying mama's ears)Believing good things!
Giving her the supplement 3x a day is very stressful to me and her.. tried everything but compounding it to liquid but cant imagine that being easier! Supplements are just too big, even halved but gotta be given.
