Thanks Dr Doug
Have to discuss this with my vet. My corgi of 12 years was diagnosed with a heart condition a couple of months ago. She has a recent history of panting and we had all kinds of tests run, and everything came back negative. They did a echo and discovered the issue. I can't recall exactly what they called it. It wasn't CHF, and I don't think it was DCM. Doc said it was treatable and prescribed ENALAPRIL.
Schatzi has allergies, and the only food we could find that she can eat was Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain. Just checked the ingredients and it has everything you listed. Lentils, peas, legumes, potatoes....
She has been on that food for years, but only developed this panting within the last year. Maybe this explains why the heck nothing ever came back with all of her tests, until the echo. BTW - meds don't seem to help all that much.
Thanks for the post
