Great news that the chest x ray was fine, hopefully that will give you some reassurance.
I'm sorry that I can't suggest any reason for the elevated respiration rate. Do you notice any change in the rate in relation to when you give meds?
You're doing a brilliant job. No one could do more for Jennie's quality of life than you are.

Only just starting to watch for something like this, thanks WG. xxxx I'm not good are wording searches and cannot find the information I am looking for regarding if the cerenia, gabapentin or piroxicam might cause accelerated respiration. The search results are not answering my question, I mean.
So far on one "side effect list" I did see that labored breathing could be a sign of an allergic reaction to the piroxicam in conjunction with hives. But I would think if that was what this was it would worsen.
And I wouldn't call this labored breathing, I would call it faster than normal
Or maybe I would I don't know
Hopefully the vet is doing some looking too, she may have access to more information than I do.
