Thanks, I didn't know that he could have similar problems with insulinomia. We have had that somewhat under control. His glucose is low still even after medicine but hasn't had an "episode" in months. His cough just started 2 months ago. He had an x-ray 3 weeks ago. His heart was the same size as when it was done in Dec. I assumed that the cough was due to fluid. I have been using CoQ10 even before he starting coughing. I have been trying to figure out an exact dose. The recommendations vary. That and also Vit A. We did lymph node biopsies previously and came up negative on cancer cells. The vet I use is gone for weeks, can he survive that long or should I take him to another vet that doesn't know his history or has his x-rays? I am supposed to fly home to deal with family issues in two days and am afraid he will die on my petsitter. I jsut don't want to neglect him but don't know where to take him. I just am stuck in a bad place with him getting sicker with my vet out of town.

Thanks,
Cindy
