[Dailydrool] Violeta's mooing- what do I do? Is she sick?

[VIRGINIA OLIVEIRA]

Hi Dear Droolers Friends


First I'd like to apologize for the "strong" post I put on my page on Facebook. Didn't want to offend anyone, and I sincerely thought it would show on my page only. I don't understand Facebook very well. Too complicated for an oldie like me. I am really sorry. The last thing I want is to hurt somebody.

As you probably know, 7 years ago I divorced dadperson and Violeta and Xaxa stayed  with him in the house. 

Since I couldn't bring her with me when I moved to this apartment ( and it was the only wheelchair apt that belongs  to Calgary Housing, a subsidized kind of apartment, I could find then) 
I really lost her daily routine and the changes as she got older. My heart was so broken I  got depressed for 3 years, in bed, crying. You cannot leave your baby behind. This will never happen again. Now dogs can "visit" in my building. A guy has a dog. 

Anyways, she is staying for 10 days, until next week's wednesday. We need to get it right!

She is on 3 meds:

Furesamid 40 mg
 One am other pm.( was 2 am and 2 pm- the ex changed to 1am and 0.5 pm because she was peeing too much, uncomfortable, SHE couldn't sleep well with that dosage.

VETMEDIN 5 mg 2 in the am, 1 in the pm. ( today I gave 1 in am, got confused, will give 2 at night. Is it ok?
And at night she also takes 1 Fortkor 10mg in pm.

I don't know if it is the heat ( my apt is warm), i am keeping the blinds down, windows wide open, and a  fan in bedroom on.
I am giving the meds, feeding only rice, chicken and some kibble for a more solid stools.
Today her stools were somewhat too soft, the second one was almost diarrhea. I gave her imodium fast dissolving.

Maybe I should just relax and watch "Gone With the Wind" my preferred movie ever, that is on Turner Classic Movies. Maybe now, at 11, she is just mooing more than before?

She is a very sensitive girl like me, and  I thought it could only be: 

1- My mistake taking her for a walk everytime she has to pee. She has an enlarged heart, she can't walk much so I know I exaggerated.
2- the  heat from my apt ( better today)
3- anxious, missing her dad, house, sensing my anxiety,  etc

I am shaking, almost to tears, why her stool gets too soft, almost like diarrhea, for the second time? I am doing all  I can to make her comfortable, even took her to pee at 3 am because I noticed she wasn't comfortable. I don't mind. Just want her to stop mooing ( or moaning?) and be comfortable, sleep calmly like she did the first time she came here.( but at that time she had an elaborated respiration, that's when I asked dadperson to take her to the vet( I preferred Xaxa's cardiologist, but he took to one I don't like much. Xaxa was dying from the heart and he said that he didn't think he had a heart disease, just pulmonary  disease (he was almost 15, and had both, anyways). BUT HE STILL TOOK VIOLETA THERE! WHAT WAS HE THINKING! MEN! That's why we, women have the babies and care for them, and the men are just the providers....
Returning to Violeta..,

  Then I ask myself, is she in pain? It doesn't look like. Is anxious? Well, she is eating very well, drinking lots of fresh water, what else  can I do?
This night I didnt sleep. She wasn't much confortable. I even thought of giving her half of 2.0mg valium and taking two myself!
I am anxious, and can she feel, and be affected by it?
I tell myself she is peeing well, eating very well but stool too soft.
I want her to be ok, so I can be ok.
Please help!
