The vet called around 11:00 am this morning and told us they drained about 4.2 liters of air from her chest cavity yesterday. This was of course quite a bit and confirms the discomfort we perceived she was feeling based on the sounds she was making and her inability to stay lying down in any given position for long was real. They want to keep her another night to monitor and do another chest tap to see if any more air is escaping from her lungs. That said, we continue to be on pins and needles.
It’s grueling for us because we are in great fear of losing her. She’s 13 years old and the idea of more work will not only be expensive but, of much more concern to us, highly invasive. We’re confronting making a difficult decision regarding a friend we absolutely adore and love. We know we must do what’s best for her and it very much hurts like Hell.
