Our vet said that if the last medication didn't help that maybe I just needed to realize his little heart had taken enough. Today, I called the Specialist at Ohio university to ask what they charge for a visit. They told me $140 initial office visit. I asked if I could send all his records to them and pay that amount to get their advice. Hopefully will hear tomorrow. This little dog has gone to my work a hair salon and followed my mom and dad to many nursing homes. He has touched so many lives. Never walked on a leash cause he stats right by my side at all times. I fight with trying to keep him alive or just letting him go. I sure wouldn't want to be coughing most the day. I feel for everyone. If anyone wants the number to the university it is 614-292-3551. My friend was told her dog had a tumor and the vet took it out but said the cells would kill him in 3 weeks. She went to university and they put her dog on chemo. That was 2 and a half years ago. Good luck all
