Right now they are giving him Enalipril for his heart.. they checked for heartworm and that came out negative. The vet said there's nothing we can do but monitor him closely
Let me ask you...describe how your puppy acts?

A puppy who's heart is so enlarged it causes coughing...is generally lethargic or tired all the time, gets winded easily, and has trouble breathing.

I really urge you to see a cardiologist. If he has an enlarged heart...that is who needs to be treating him any way.

This condition is rare in small breed dogs.

Find a cardiologist who can properly diagnose your dog....and ease your mind.
