Well if your dog tried to eat you every time you tried to put on or remove a harness, I’m sure you’d just leave the harness on too.
She has not been tested for heartworm, however even if she did have it, she’s 14 years old. The treatment would be too hard on her. It’s not that kind of cough anyways, I don’t think. Most of her coughing is reverse sneezing from getting herself worked up and stressed out over something. Since alleviating any pressure on her neck from the harness, her (self-imposed)-non-stress related coughing has greatly reduced. I think the growth in the two tumors on her neck were a good deal of the problem. She actually hasn’t coughed all day since putting this new one on.
There is a blood test yes. It costs almost as much as the dental does. Apparently, blood tests are made of gold.
