If he gave her lasix, then he thinks she has fluid in her lungs and that is not pneumonia. You need to find out if he knows for sure it is not pneumonia, or get a second opinion. My positive Patches had pneumonia a few years ago, and recovered with Baytril and Immuno-Regulin shots. The other main causes of fluid in or near the lungs are mediastinal lymphoma, which responds very well to chemotherapy in many cats, and heart problems. Given Felv status, mediastinal lymphoma is more likely. But you need a specialist to diagnose this, and then consider treatment options. Personally if it is lymphoma I would do chemo. Lymphoma in the chest can respond very well to it for months or years. And then, if/when it stops working, or if you don't do chemo, dexamethasone and depomedrol shots. But again, you need a proper diagnosis to assess. Make sure it is not just pneumonia. Michelle In a message dated 11/23/2006 10:58:05 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
He gave her a steroid shot of the same type they give when animal is in shock. They gave her fluids and sent her home with lasix. She just ate some white chicken (canned)...and more of the cat milk. Got a crushed up pill in her.
