Cooper is not well. He had his 4th chemotherapy the Monday before Thanksgiving, so about a week and a half ago. His symptoms, panting, standing like it is uncomfortable to lay down, slight tempature, shaking. When it started we did blood work and all was ok and still is. The vet gave an antibiotic and tramadol for pain. 12 hours later he seemed fine. After 3 days it started again. He is at vets on oxygen and IV. His x rays look normal. My vet thinks there must be a mass somewhere but doesn't advice sending him for ultrasound as he is under so much stress. We are out of town. Has anyone had this happen? He is recommending putting him down if he doesn't improve in 24 hours but would keep him comfortable until we came home. Any advice?

I have just done 15 or 20 minutes worth of researching online of those symptoms but could not pin down any one cause of what this could be all together as whole set of symptoms that would make sense. It is peculiar (but good) that all bloodwork is normal but according to a lot of these sites, elevated fever with chemo usually means a low white blood count or some type of infection but you said the bloodwork was ok. When they did the X-rays was it just in the chest? I hope by the time you get home things have settled down and he is feeling better. Sorry to hear this and I know how hard it must be that you are away from him while he is going through this. Keep us updated.

I don't have any ideas to add but just wanted to say I hope he feels better. I know how frustrating and scary that is to be out of town when your fur baby is not well.

Feel better, Cooper!

Said a prayer for Cooper…hoping tomorrow is a better day for you both!
