Hi Melissa,
No not a vet. But thank’s for the compliment. I’m just good at researching all things dogs. First dog was Pookie. A little mini Doxie that was great with the kids. He’s still POOK the legend to my now grown kids. Now we have Tia Maria a nine year old very sweet Chihuahua and Loli also a Chihuahua who’s a little terror. Our Chloe passed several years ago. So since the internet I always looked up meds and side effects or anything else relating to dogs health. Especially now with so many choices in food I’m glad to have found this site. It a big help to at least give me a starting point with his reviews and ratings of what to feed. You’re post just made me feel so badly for you and poor Cooper James( I LOVE that name!!!) One of my sons friends dogs are have names starting with Mrs. (Mrs. Pickles) lol. My Hannah Belle just passed. She was 17 and finally got the strength to put her to rest. We cried and cried but she was suffering and I could not do anything to make her feel better anymore. . I would be up all night walking with her when she was having trouble breathing. . She had mitral valve disease . Towards the end I only home cooked. I found lists of food online that can be given with congestive heart failure such as frosted mini wheats. I would make her plain oatmeal no salt and break up the mini wheats and mix her heart pills in it.
I lucked out when I just put in the symptoms of CJ and added doodle and someone else had a doodle with same symptoms and was diagnosed with that disease. I hope Melissa that he has something less serious then that but at least if that is what it is he can finally be helped to feel better.
Thank you for keeping me updated. Let me know when you get Cooper James’ results.
