My little Mariposa died from CT. She made it 6 yrs. The last 4 were awful.
She started severe 'honking' around 1 yr. No, she never had a collar on in her life, and although she could be a handful, I never tried to choke her to death.....OK I know, just some sick humor. But she had been playful and healthy. It seemed to start when she got warm and panted then it went downhill fast.
She was a beauty and I believe hung in there that long because she must have had one heck of a healthy heart to let her go on sometimes for weeks being almost constant. It got so I kept people away from the house because just getting excited could bring on an episode that could last for a very long time.
I think a lot of dogs will do a bit of 'honking' here and there but it doesn't get bad.
I hope your baby will be alright and this is not the problem. If it does happen though, there are probably a few of us that have gone through this that can help you. |
