Hi...
Sorry to hear about your baby.
My foster dog Cupid had a stent put in a year ago this month...he still has his moments with coughing...but before the stent he was not able to breathe anymore....it was his only last option as medication was not working.
You can read his story at
Yorkies Inc. Placement Service he is our forever foster.
There are also two Yahoo CT groups that I joined for more information...
