I was thinking, Calvin takes so many pills daily ...
... he'll give any senior a run fur their money. One pill he takes, cost a buck a pill, and he takes two a day. Anyone got a dog like that? Or am I special. Pops n' the mangy Wabbits

We just cut a trip short because Charlie couldn't walk and was panting all day and night. We took him to a vet that said if you don't take him to a hospital he will probably die. We put him in the X hooked up the TT and drove home to our vet.
Long story short he is on 3 meds because he has congenital heart failure. His heart was so big he had no room to breathe, he sat up for almost 3 days. Meds started Saturday he ate food monday and is breathing 28 times a min as opposed to 60 last Thursday and Friday.
We lost our Rosie to congestive heart failure last year. It seemed to come on so suddenly, she was panting a lot, had x-rays and her heart literally filled her chest. The vet said there was nothing we did to cause it, it's just hereditary. We had thought a mutt would be less likely to have that kind of thing happen, but it doesn't work that way. I'm so sorry to hear about Charlie.
