Dogs, just like people, can do very well on cardiac meds. Hopefully they will help Shorty!

Keeping him out of the cold weather is very good....especially with that collapsed trachea.

No false hopes...these things can and do respond to treatment. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted!
