tigra Thank you for your information. Just for everyone that reads my posts.We got our Yorke to baby sit for my grand daughter 5 years ago, and he ended up staying. Right now he is going on to 8 years old. He has never been a healthy dog to speak of. He has an enlarged heart, and it interferes with his breathing most of the time. It interferes with his wind pipe. He has had all his shots. This time they are the ones for 3 years. After that we had a Battle with flees. At that time the vet put on Advantage. After that he spent 4 days at a day care. All this within 2 weeks. I think things are not going good.
Everything started all at once.We have been to the vet and they possibly will give him an xray soon to find some of the problems. This is a lot to take in but that is why we are on this site for.To find help,as well as to pass on everything that we learn, for other peoples to benefit from. He eats good drinks a lot. Now that the weather is getting colder he has a bout when he goes outside.
He sounds like an idling car when he is on his back resting or sleeping I think we know what future holds. He is good company when he is good. Sooner or later I think his heart will give out. Surgery is out the vet thinks that he would not come out of it.We will keep him as long as possible,unless we get lucky with something. Thanks for all the tips so far. Agie ... View related article.
Boomer, can you please elaborate on your remedy from a farm supply dealer. I am in the middle of an agricultural area. No problem finding a tractor dealer or anything else for that matter, as to agriculture. Agie ... View related article.
Has anyone have a remedy for kennel cough. We can not afford to keep running to the vet. He has had all his shots 3 weeks ago. After this date we took him to a kennel for a weekend,and now we have a problem. He picked up something from one of them. By the way he did have his shots last year as well. I took him to the vet,she used a rubber mat for the dog to stand on, I do not know if this was sprayed with disinfectant. Also the kennel did someone have a dog in there that did not have there shots? Anyway, can someone, or anyone give us a tip of some sort? Hopefully save us a vet bill.Thanks in advance for your support. Agie ... View related article.
I should have said. He sleeps more than we are used to. In the past view day's he seams to have a dry cough as well. He is not playing like he used to. The vet said that he is healthy,but I know he is not the same. During the night he was acting up coughing I gave him some Pepto mismal, I think it helped. I am not sure if I spelled that right but it is a minty flavor pink stuff. Someone told us that a long time ago but we forgot.It is good for many things. It helped a lot in humid weather as well. Anyway there are many remedy's out there. If anyone has something that we did not mention so far,please come aboard. I would like to get him to play more.Thanks for now. ... View related article.
