She had chest x-rays today. Her heart murmur was previously a 4/6 now 5/6.
She is coughing a bit. But pekingese sometimes cough for attention so it's not easy to detect.
I gave her 1/4 Trazadone (50 mg) last night and another 1/4 this morning because she is nervous in cars.
In the morning she had settled and her breathing is now 48/min
And her breathing rate was 140 breath/min when I counted but was more when I took her outside for 5 min. I carried her back.
The dr contacted her cardio and gave her Pimobendan 1.25 mg every 12 hours. X-ray and lab results were sent to dr. Jeff.
The cardiologist said they will contact me to make an appointment.
She is currently on Lachesis 6 C when coughing or limping and I dosed her yesterday with 20 succ.
 
Welcome to HA! Michele. Thanks for making your first post.

I'm sorry to hear about Leiha's health challenges. :(

Did she respond to yesterday's dose of Lach?

I'm so glad that her 140bpm calmed down with the Trazodone. She looked pretty depressed and anxious in the video you sent me. Would you be willing to share it here so others can see?

I was super happy to read the radiologist's report which didn't show fluid in the lungs!
