My dog is 15 and ofc I love him dearly. I work in vetmed so ofc he's checked annually and is on all the good preventatives and what not. Lately he's had a hacking sort of cough occasionally. It started when the temperature outside dropped. I'm hoping it's just a new reaction to the cool weather due to his age. It can't be heartworms or kennel cough.
My anxiety is telling me it could be heart disease. One of the doctors I work for said everything looked great for his age earlier this year. I'm going to ask their thoughts this week at work and see if he needs another exam just to be sure.
I don't want to lose my boy. I know it's inevitable but dang it I want him around as long as possible.
Worst case scenario, if it is heart disease, I can give him medicine. He's such a good boy that he's always taken any medicine without fights.
I just want the best for him.
