Thanks for such prompt response regarding Mr. Pips enlarged heart. Mr. Pips is estimated to be about 7 years old, however, he sometimes acts like a puppy. He loves to be outside and going for walks. I have noticed however that it is getting harder for him to make the return trip to the top of our street which is only about 200 yards. Sometime I have to carry him half way back. His wheezing is a very noticeable high pitched squeak and he sneezes, coughs and gags a lot. He seems to sleep well at nights. His last trip to potty is about 10pm and most mornings he doesn't wake me until 7:30.
The vet has given me meds to lessen his coughs but has not suggested meds for his heart. I will talk with him about this on the next visit but will have to wait until my next ss comes in.
Thanks again. |
