Vet told me she has fluid in her lungs.
Our 10 year old lady had to go to the vet on Monday due to not being able to stand and drooling a ton. I had to leave work early because my parents needed help lifting her as her hind legs are giving out. We took her to the vet and they ran an x-ray and called me yesterday to inform me that she has pneumonia/fluid in her lungs as well as arthritis in her spine. She also huffs and puffs at times and this has been ongoing. While we were there we had asked about her quality of life as she's been bed ridden and shuddering after 3 grueling hours at the vet and he said as long as she continues to eat or drink she's okay(? He was kind of hard to understand) He would like to do blood tests if she does not improve for her liver and kidneys. I am just devastated right now. I don't kmow what to do. I feel we are nearing the end and I don't know what to do. I hate seeing her like this she is such a lap dog and refuses to let someone stop giving her love. I feel I need to ask again about a quality of life check up. I hate the idea of her struggling and don't want her to deal with unnecessary hurt. My parents told me she sat in the sun in the backyard yesterday and she went to the bathroom and is eating a tiny amount and drinking. She deserves a fighting chance but I can't help but think she's tired..
