That was when I took him back and took him to my Vet. He said his trachea had collapsed too close to his heart that he did not recommend surgery. Vet said he didnt even know of a Dr. who would perform this test because Cosmo (lil guy) chances of survival were so low. He sounded as if he had a greater chance in dieing from surgery then to limit his activities. He did give me pills (cough medicine) which does not help. Its hard to keep a lil dog who get excited over everything calm. We try our best though. Im glad my other yorkie (gezell) is very good with him. I do wish there was another way to keep him alive  I dread the day because I will not be able to do it. he is ok for now. I found this out in October and he has been so much better here then with his other mother.  |
