Senior Yorkieweenie on long term heart meds now dealing with inappetence, GI upset and lethargy.

[MelissaY]

History: At 13yrs old my 9# Yorkieweenie was Dx w/Mitral valve disease (MVD) in Feb, 2021, after a full chem panel including Cardiopet proBNP. After a Cardiac Ultrasound on 3/1/21, she was DX w/Severe Chronic Valve Disease w/Mitral Regurgitation. She was put on Benazapril 2.5 SID and Pimobendan. On 4/7/21, after X-rays the vet added Furosemide.
Elevated BUN=56 on 10/6/22; BUN=64 on 4/19/23.

Since July 2023 she has been on & off Metronidazole to manage bouts of diarrhea, vomiting & inappetance. Did 3 weeks on, 1 week off w/fair results. Since 8/10/23 she's had it every other day w/good results. On 9/20/23 went to every 2 days w/good results. On 10/18/23 we're back to inappetance, diarrhea & mild lethargy.

Please help!

Many Thanks,

Melissa

Hi Melissa!

Thanks for making your first post.

Can you identify any specific questions that you have?

For general help your best bet is to take the HA! 101 course, watch Steven Kotler's talk on the Sacred Paws summit, and learn more about vitality, balance and homeopathy.

It's also a good idea, whenever dealing with serious stuff, to be working with a trained vet homeopath or other energy-focused vet.
