us to keep an eye on her. Today she was having much more trouble breathing =
she is very laborded breathing with her stomach mostly We talked to our vet=
over the phone and he thought maybe she had fluid in her lungs After we to=

abnormal. He said he really wasn't sure what was wrong with her he said he=
wanted to give prednisone a try and gave her a shot of that and gave us to=
