Unfortunately, Sippa doesn't have a cold. We visited the veterinarian yesterday for check up. Sippa (has HCM) now has fluid in her lungs. X-rays showed it. Since she still has "spark" and likes to play in periods during the day, we will make an attempt with adding a diuretic medication to the Benazepril (ACE-inhibitor). Maybe it will give her some more time before the inevitable walk over the Rainbow Bridge. :'(
The Vet gave me two options yesterday:
1. Try diuretic medication
2. End her life right there
Even though I know it's inevitable, Sippa's life will end before it's time, the Vet's alternatives came as a chock to me. I'm so, so, so, very sad... <3
My little Sippa, who got into my heart at 5 weeks of age (June, 2010), and since then has been "mom's little girl" all the way since she came to us in August 2010.
