dog panting

[slinky.kate]

my dog is lying panting as if he has been running miles,is there something wrong?

thats me back from the vet,he thinks he is picking up,he is not too worried about the stroke,its his kidneys,urea level very high which could have been caused by a medicine he was on,he is on antibiotics for another 2 weeks and only allowed to eat fish,chicken,rice and pasta.he is lying sleeping so i might go and lie down for a while this afternoon.the panting and weeing was caused by tablets as well.

Oh let's hope he continues to improve, get some rest now.

kate - please believe me when I say I am an animal lover through and through, but my feelings agree with lankeela's on this one. Qaulity of life is so much more important - I trust you will keep checking on rex's. With very best wishes to you both ttfn ♥

he is an awful lot better,not piddling or crying,just his kidneys.i would'nt let him suffer and if theres no more improvement we will have to see what the next 2 weeks bring.

Kate - I am very pleased to read that rex is feeling so much better, no offence intended earlier ♥

thank you all for asking after rex,he has started to improve,he has all his tablets changed and is on steroids and antibiotics now as he still has blood in his urine,he has lost a lot of weight but his appetite is coming back,its just the kidneys worrying the vet but he gets checked again on friday.
