Took Zorro to the vet. He lost close to 5 pounds but she wasn’t concerned yet because he hasn’t been eating very much. He did “not” want to take his meds today. I did get some of it down him. I gave him half the amount but it didn’t seem to do the job lol. She assessed it is allergies from watching the video. She listened to his heart and stomach area. His lungs are good and she didn’t hear any murmur for his heart. She said their hearts can enlarge as they age. An x-ray would have to be done to check for that. She said to start him back on the apoquel but twice a day for two weeks and then one a day. It was a 200 dollar visit as the apoquel for only 30 pills was over a 100 dollars which is nuts. He has to come back in two weeks to see how he is doing. If his cough remains she wants to get an X-ray to check on his heart. Andy said she is the doctor that first started at the clinic.
Allergies....could have been worse. I'd be happy with that diagnosis for sure.
ReplyDeleteI definitely am glad it is allergies. She did say that she wanted to do an X-ray of his heart if he doesn’t get better to check for enlargement secondary.
