Thank you, friend~
It went pretty well, I think. After listening to Harlowe's heart, lungs, and breathing, she couldn't hear anything unusual-like increased fluid build-up, crackling, wheezing, etc.
So she's hoping it's something minor like a cold, or irritated throat from something she ate, extra humidity we're having, etc. She did tell me to videotape it on my phone, if possible, and e-mail it to her if it continues. That way, I don't have to keep taking her in.
As far as the restlessness and anxiety at night goes, she recommended an herbal supplement that we will start giving Harlowe. Fingers crossed that it will allow her to relax and rest better. She is hoping that it's behavioral and not something bothering her physically, because she's been doing it for a few years now. It's tricky since being restless at night is a known symptom of Congestive Heart Failure-it could actually be even both of them. So our hope is that it will help the situation, t least.
Overall, it was a good appointment!
It's so hard not knowing with animals, I wish they could tell you what's wrong, but it ends up being process of elimination at times. We'll just keep having positive thoughts and hope that our girl can live a comfortable life <3

Glad the appointment went well and that there is nothing else going on!! Praying that the herbal supplement helps her and that she can get a good night of rest!! Fingers crossed that the coughing lets up soon too. Still sending lots of love and strength your way.
