My 12 year old Maltese has been in the hospital since Saturday with heart failure. There have been alot of ups and downs this week. When his systolic pressure (first number) went to 56 (normal ~120) I thought I was going to have to put him to sleep today. But he rallied. We just want him home for as long as he'll be comfortable. Being in an oxygen cage all week has been hard on him.
His pressure is up to 100 this evening and we pray he can come out of oxygen and come home. I want him to feel the dirt under his paws and the sun on his face.
I am not good at posting pictures, and my husband/IT support is away - but you can see my little guy in my avatar. All prayers and good thoughts welcomedThis message has been edited. Last edited by: katndog,

I hope for a positive outcome for your baby. I have two Maltese and they have also had their issues. Best of luck.
