Canine update

[hatman]

Well, dog's doing much better. We're not sure, but it looks like the whole thing was just "kennel cough," more or less the canine equivalent of a bad cold. They cough and feel crappy for a week or two and then they get better. Must have caught it from one of the dogs in the park.

So all that testing (x-ray, ultrasound, blood tests...) was pretty much completely unnecessary, and the vet who told Mom that he had a heart condition and could go at anytime was... wrong. That's what happens when the dog gets sick on a day when his regular vet has off. We may try finding a different vet, if there's another decent one in the area.

Anyway, point is that he's doing better. Still coughs a little when he overexerts. Still gets tired very quickly when running around. But way better than he was last week. Hopefully he'll be back to normal soon. :)

Yay! Glad he's not as sick as you thought, and hope he continues to improve. :)
