We mostly changed his way of life a little, on walks he gets carried to one corner then walks to a corner, we don't let him over due anything. Also we keep an air filter fan in the bedroom on at all times for him. Cool everything for him is the best. Last winter we all were under an electric blanket so we could crack the window for him, and he was perfect. The crazy things people don't do for their dogs!!! |
I totally know what your saying my Buffy takes the same meds for breathing the theophylline 1/4 2x a day but if there is a fire some were in the LA county its 3x (every 8 hours) and we did the same thing with the window open because the heater was on, but now we have a
Cool Mist Humidifier pointed at our bed (were she sleeps) that puts the moister back into the air for the bronchos to stay open and have the heater on too.
The room would be so cold that we were all catching colds even Buffy....lol.
You can also use it in the summer on those hot dry days and also very good if you have allergies you can breath better at night.
Try it you can return it if you do not feel a difference.
