We got home last night about 5:30. I was in bed by 8 with no pain. but Dually was up and down on the bed, breathing funny and whining every now and then. He is not a whiner. There was something wrong.
I called the Vet at 8 am and got a 9:50 appt. I told her "There is something wrong with my dog" She checked him out and decided to do blood work, urinalysis, heartworm(oh how I wish it was heartworm)xrays and the xray showed a very enlarged heart putting pressure on his trachea and causing his little cough which I thought might be kennel cough.(I wish it was kennel cough), She called it cardiomyopathy. Which when I googled , it's an enlarged diseased heart muscle most often found in male dogs.. Prognosis is not good. I have an ultrasound scheduled tomorrow and we will go from there, but it sounds like it will be comfort measures. She said he would never work again. He;s only 7.
Prayers and good karma
