After a lot of internal back and forth, a lot of reading and questioning of vets, I decided to start Dachuny on Lasix today at 11:52am. Am closely monitoring him and will continue to do so from now until his echo check in 4 days.
Also read that dogs should have at least 20cc/lb of water per day so that's about 256 cc per day for Dachuny at his current weight of 12.8lbs.
He hasn't been showing much symptoms lately other than peeing a lot and coughing a few times per week but the coughing was increasing in number of days per week over the last two months. Even though his SRR (sleeping heart rate) has been between 16-24 the last week (18 last night), his vet says a normal SRR doesn't completely rule out CHF. So am choosing to trust her on that and praying it doesn't tip his kidneys into a scary state.
Meanwhile trying to not pregrieve and stay in the moment with him as much as possible but letting the tears come when they rise up but not let the sadness linger for long.
