He's taken a turn for the worst tonight, he's agitated and running around. He can't breathe and the nebulizer isn't working 
I'm so torn up, heartbroken
If he lasts the night and we can get him in tomorrow, I am taking him in for the last trip
My Stew Stew :cry4:
Update: He's somewhat stable. We dosed him with 0.05cc of Lasix to try and remove fluids from his lungs. I also gave him 1cc of advil to try and reduce swelling. If Maple wasn't online Stewart would be dead right now. :bow: He has regained color, still sounds horrid but he's getting some oxygen at least.
Update: Sunday afternoon and we are still hanging on. He gets flair ups where he cannot breathe, which we follow with 10min saline and 10mins saline/steroid that allows him to breathe again. He's not getting better but he's staying above the line. Sadly, he's starting to loose a little weight. Its up and down right now. mostly night time is the worst for him... uploaded a video of our boy giving kisses. We're going to start offering the nebulizer 4 times a day, not twice or if he needs it. It seems to help. Cannot WAIT for the doxy to get here!!
Update 12/21/10:
Well the first night Stewart was a 9/10 (10 being death). Tonight I am happy to report that I would give him a 6/10. The lasix/advil/baytril have been helping him so much the last 2 days, I havent had to give him the nebulizer. He still sounds like a URI, but he's squeaking, but not gasping or loud. Before you could hear him across the apartment, today you need to lean into the cage and get his attention before you can hear sounds from him. He's cleaning, eating, drinking and quite active. No more lounging around or hanging from shelves/putting his head up to breathe. We are back to the beginning when we first brought him in for URI which is a HUGE improvement. Doxy came in today with the help of RattyMomma and Lilspaz, boys are getting their doses.
I am now seeing why I was hesitant to bring him in to be PTS Monday, he's taken a total change since Sunday night, getting better every day since the lasix is removing fluid from his lungs.
Keep sending those prayers!! OH and guess what I found in the bathroom today?? The fiances puffer, I could flippin shoot him right now. So, I hid it on him He can suffer like Stewart did next time he has a fit and can't breathe Yes, I am that cruel.
