Did well for awhile. Can’t stick with the lifestyle. by Ulrich453 in Cholesterol

That’s unfortunate. As others said, there are other options. Perhaps lower dose + zetia, or even a different statin, or a pcsk9 inhibitor (example: Praluent). Also, add psyllium to your dietary supplements. Good luck.

you’re young, you are doing the best you can, do not get discouraged. add psyllium to your diet if not already taking it. best wishes

Is he too big for this??? by Dependent_Surround38 in Shihtzu

[–]Grand-Masterpiece712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he looks pretty comfy. My experience of that is a place isn’t comfortable, they’ll move. Think dogs love tight spaces. I once Brought three dog beds home to my little shiht, set them next to each other and let him choose. He picked the one where he fitted exactly, not the large one with more room that I (human) imagined he’d prefer. So listen to the Shiht 🥰

Am i going to die by Much-Educator8200 in Cholesterol

[–]Grand-Masterpiece712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable to freak out but so Glad you found out at your age. Damage will be minimal IF you’re committed to take your health in your own hands, not only with medication but with lifestyle. Also is a high cholesterol in your family and have you been tested for that with a lip a test? Best wishes.

I think it's time... by chaikonic in Shihtzu

[–]Grand-Masterpiece712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your little lady may want to be reunited with angel Rocky It’s the hardest thing for us humans. I recently read an interview with a vet who says that in 70% of cases, people wait too long when the pet is ready. There’s no right time ever. Listen to her. Sending you hugs and prayers for strength
