Chaz made it through the night!!
When we tried to give him his heart pill last night, he started gasping for air and you could literally see his heart beating in his tiny chest. We made the decision to start his heart meds this morning, and he took it is a little piece of cheese. The vet said it would be better without food, but to use food for now to keep from stressing him during the crisis. He took the liquid Lasix with no trouble.
He seems to be resting easier this morning. I could barely sleep last night, so afraid he would be gone when I woke up. I spent most of the night just touching him and looking at his sweet, little face.
He got up this morning and drank some water and peed for a long time, so the Lasix must be doing it's thing. He also doesn't look as puffy as he did last night.

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers...I cannot tell you what it means to me.
Please keep the prayers coming.
This is my baby boy:)

Poor baby!!!!! I'll definitely have Chaz in my prayers! How old is he? Our chihuahua Bucky is 10 years old or so. Never got his papers they promised and he's been with us for 8 years.

I have 2 conures. One is a Sun named Mango who is my little gymnast and he is two years old. Kiwi, a mischievous little Green Cheek is one and a half.
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I had a wonderful German Shepherd once and was and still am heart broken that she died. I will most certainly pray for you and for Chaz. Please let me know when there is progress. I am confident that God will answer all of our prayers, and while the answer may not be what is hoped for we will pray it is and will be confident that whatever happens is for the best. :)

Michael, it was only last Tuesday night when we lost Tequila.
This has caught me completely off guard, it had never even occurred to me that something like this would happen to one of the boys. Memphis is our oldest dog, and he is only turning 10 this year.
Chaz is the baby, and we never even considered that we would be facing the possibility of him not being here now.
But he is strong, and I believe in him. He is going to make it, I cannot even think of the alternative.

Terry so glad Chaz made it through the night. I am glad the medicine is helping some. You both are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I am so sorry for the loss of Tequila. Please know we are all praying for you and Chaz. Keep us posted. He has a good Mommy who is doing all the right things and he knows it.

Chaz must have heard you, Jen - he just ate a little for the first time since day before yesterday. He had that little bit of cheese this morning with his pill, but that was it.
He seems better to me this afternoon, and has been cuddling with me and waging his tail a little.
I am feeling a little more hopeful now:)

I'm so glad that he's responded to his medication and is feeling better. Go Chaz, go! Keep responding and get completely well.
