My 11 year old pom has a heart murmur and she was really sick this past week and coughing a lot for long periods of time so I took her to the vet and she has congestive heart failure. She wouldn't eat for 4 days and couldn't get comfortable. The vet gave her a shot to immediately get fluid off her lungs and a diuretic and heart medicine and within 2 hours she was like a new dog. She is eating, rolling over for tummy rubs and brathing much better. So I would definately get him checked and see if medicine is necessary. Praying he is ok. |
