After his first serious crisis, our lives changed a lot. Milou was getting all of our attention every single minute of every day and night. We were giving him his medicines, counting his breaths, giving him oxygen to help him breath easier, bringing him to the vet or call him and appreciate every moment. It was so bitter to know that this precious angel will be gone soon. So many times i was telling him how much i loved him and that i would love him forever, and be with him where he is going to be.... And he was kissing me...
Somedays were better! Milou was so strong! He was barking, and had the strenght to even go for long walks. And we were all so happy on those days! So happy! And when the vet had the good news, that the fluis was less, and the drugs were not harming his kidneys, those were party days!!!
And then, it was Easter 2006, he had the most serious crisis. We were sitting in the living room and it was late at night. He started coughing again and his breathing was becoming faster and faster. We counted more than 100 breaths in a minute. We gave him lassix through his vains, but wasn't getting better. We gave nitroglycerin...but he needed hospital. That was when i think i paniced seriously. The thought that i maybe was to loose him was unbearable.
We went to the hospital. They started him lassix and other medicines immediatelly. I asked if he was going to die. They said he would be ok. Vets were my Gods!!! We stayed with him all night because he would be too stressed alone in the clinic and we took him to the car. The vet was coming out to exam him every two hours. He wouldn't ever pee in the clinic so i was walking him.
In the morning he was better and we kept on his treatment home. The video of Milou's treatment aftr a crisis is from those days...to be continued.....
