Im new here. My 5 year old Frankie has been seeing his vet for 5 years until he had a bad cough a month ago. They diagnosed him with an enlarged heart and said theres nothing much they can do about it but to keep him calm---which is impossible with a dog that barks at anything that moves. They kept giving him steroid shots that temporarily relieved him but seemed like my baby was just getting worse everyday. I thought I was losing Frankie until my husband decided to get a second opinion. We finally found a vet who did all the necessary tests including xray and said my baby's heart is in good condition. Enlarged hearts are normal in small dogs according to him. We noticed how concerned he was with Frankie unlike the other vet who seemed cold and was just raking in the $$$. Frankie had fluid in his lungs and after giving the right meds, he's recovered pretty well. If I had stuck with our old vet, dont know if Frankie would still be here with me.
Glad we followed our gut feel. Sending good vibes to Bentley! |
