What she said! My toy poodle, Dax, was on two of those meds that you mention and he lived about 5 years more after starting those - he was 15 years old when he finally had a stroke and had to be put down. He also had really bad teeth from early on and when he would get a real bad one, it would have to be pulled because the infection could travel to his heart and cause more problems. He really never had the cough that you refer to though. I was devastated at first when he was first diagnosed and told my vet that I was afraid I was doing more harm than good by giving his these meds but he assured me that I "would know" when Daxton's time was up. He was still in "puppy mode" up until his last couple days when he got an eye infection and I guess the infection was too hard for his system. He had a stroke and of course, then "I knew" what had to be done. But on the bright side, please give these meds a chance. We noticed a huge improvement in Daxton's quality of life after his started working. Here's hoping for many more years with your baby!!
