I was thinking, Calvin takes so many pills daily ...

Same boat...Bladder cancer. 4 pills a day and Rx diet at $100 for 27 lbs. Six surgeries for skin cancer...He still wags his tail :) Worth every penny!!!

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.

I guess I should have said congestive hart failure.

Please don't feel alone...one of our Cavalier's is on three heart med's, thyroid med's and she has IBD which she takes Tylan for along with an occasional allergy med. What we won't do for our "kids"!!! :-)
