Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am so sorry! Poor Munchie! Flusapex is lasix, which is a diuretic used for heart failure. If she was given 0.30 mls that is an appropriate dose. My assumption is that the Vet though Munchie was in heart failure. Trouble breathing is serious and the only thing I could think of that could have been done differently is that Munchie should have been admitted and hospitalized for oxygen therapy and monitoring. But if her heart failure was severe the outcome may still have been the same. Again I am very sorry for your loss, Munchie sounded like she was very sick! I hope this helps in some way.
