much with this one already, and he's still so young.

Nina,
Thanks for your good wishes.
He does not
breath with mouth open and does not pant. I can have a go at
calling
the alternate vet... that I wasn't exactly pleased with initially,
but I'm
sure they'll be fine.
Thank you.
Steve

Re: Loki with lung issue
Oh Steve, I'm so sorry Loki is having
trouble. You've had so much
heartache, I know how hard it is to
bear. I'm praying hard for him to
stop showing signs of
distress. From what you describe, it sounds like
he's having trouble
breathing. Is his mouth open? Does he seem to be
panting?
I understand not wanting to stress him out further with a vet
visit, but
it's Friday and that means no vets except the ER until
Monday. You
know best about whether it's necessary to go, maybe you
should call your
vet and describe what's going on. Hopefully you have a
more
compassionate vet and not one of the ones that just say, "I can't
tell you
anything without seeing your animal". There are just so many
things
it could be. Hopefully someone else on the list can be of
more
help. Come on Loki, we're all pulling for
you.
Nina
