Elsie's ugly teeth
- Mum
- I GAVE, dammit!
Because she's still very lethargic.
And - sorry - the 1mg dosing is for lotensin, not for Enalapril.
Dosing the enalapril every other day makes absolutely no sense to me - most ACE inhibitors are dosed twice a day.
As you've said you think her time is limited, it might surprise you to see the affect of heart meds (specifically the ACE inhibitor) properly dosed.
I would at least discuss this issue with your vet.

We are finally chigger-free! O:) I think it was the LymDyp that did the trick along with a cool change in the weather on Thursday night!
Elsie wants to but can't eat due to her bottom teeth being a mess. I have a pic to post but my dsl modem at home is on the fritz so I'll post when I get back online.
I have to feed her critical care a few times day/night for now but she is breathing okay.
Her back legs seem very weak and she is wobbly when she walks. She has much trouble walking on Carefresh so I may set up a fleece bottom cage on my living room floor for her.
Annabelle sleeps right up against her and is always looking out for her Elsie! We are grateful for each day she is still with us.

Elsie now has a huge swollen front paw. I have been waiting over 2hrs for a vet to call.
I started her on Bactrim last night. Is there anything over the counter I can use to soak her paw? I went to get Chlorhexidine but I need a prescription. That's what I was waiting for the vet to call for. Since they are now closed I doubt I can go pick some up from the office at this hour.
