Default Heart failure in elderly poodle

HI all, was wondering if anyone has experienced this.....

My elderly female poodle, Prissy, has many problems that includes heart failure with cough, allergies to just about everything, terrible skin-her stomach looks like elephant skin from allergies, she is constantly either licking her feet or pulling hair out of her back...I often catch her sitting up straight on the couch scratching her stomach with both front paws.
When her allergies are acting up she puts off a terrible odor.
Oh, she also has a small lump on her throat. All these things the vet is aware of.

Several times over the weekend I have thought I smelled dog poo. Well, its her breath. She has coughed more over the weekend, probably due to weather changes. There are no problems with her teeth...those she has left. She is currently taking encard and lasix. She has taken prednisone off and on for several years but is not on it at present.


Has anyone else dealt with anything like this?
Thanks!
