cindere528 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Dillon has been for his weekly check-up at the vet's. His heart murmur is, in the vet's words "very worrying" He is still coughing a lot, but the vet says that the fluid has mostly gone from his lungs, so she's thinking he may have bronchitis, which is a different illness in dogs to bronchitis in humans. The vet has reduced one of his diuretics but has given him a broncho-dilator to try & open up his airways a bit. He still has quality of life, enjoys his food a lot, and can still manage short, slow walks, so we haven't reached the end of the road yet. At least I've got a bit more time with my lovely lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindere528 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I think Dillon's cough is improving a bit He doesn't seem to be coughing as much or for as long now. It's less strain on his heart if his cough is better, so fingers crossed, he has turned the corner and can carry on for a while longer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
