the vet who took the xrays said that the heart for his size was a lil bit to big. my dog weights 5 pounds. hes heart is suppose to be in 3 bones i think and the vet said it was in 4.....so i had to change vets because i did not like this vet...the second vet looked at the xrays and said that my dogs heart was okay as far as size goes.
i know i should changed vets, so that i can get a second opinion or should i say 4th, but the thing is the vet i have right now has the best reviews that are near me. all the others arent good because they have terrrible reviews from other people

I'd go to another vet for a second opinion because he shouldn't be coughing. Our next door neighbors bought a dog at a pet store several years ago and within two weeks the dog was dead (don't know what was wrong). They went to the store to get their money be-cause the dog was "guaranteed" but they wouldn't give them the money so they bought another dog. Last year they gave that dog away because they both work and last week they went out and bought another dog at the same PET STORE. A few days later I found out she had kennel cough. DUH !!! Good luck - keep me posted. I know how you feel about loving the little critters because I feel the same way about mine. |
