Thanks everyone for all of your positive encouragement for my dog's kidney disease. She seemed to be doing quite well for the last month+. Last week, I noticed a soft clicking sound when she inhaled breath so I took her to the vet. Vet couldn't really hear much of it, and said that we already know she could have some fluid in her lungs because of her illness and the SubQ injections we give so she did not want to put the dog through the stress of another chest Xray. We use Furosemide 2x a day to help flush out the SubQ fluids in the hopes that it will keep the kidneys flushed. Vet also suggested that the dog could have a sinus infection related to bad teeth/tartar build-up and was going to consider another antibiotic, after we finish up the current round for a tick-related illness. So, here's what I'm wondering....Can Furosemide stop working?? I'm still trying to guess at whether this is excess fluid buildup because what I've read about dog sinus infections doesn't seem to match the sound I hear when the dog breathes. The sound reminds me of hearing soft static when she inhales; sometimes its quieter when she is standing vs. laying down.
I hope everyone's June is off to a good beginning,
