Needing some prayer support and good thoughts... Boss started having some of the same symptoms of his mother, Bebe, but not as severe. The struggling to breathe normal and panting when its cool and the other dogs are not. Today he started whining and crying laying there so I called and they got us in right away. They did blood work and everything looks good with his liver and kidney numbers but listening to his heart, she said it sounded like it was working hard. She said she thinks it might have something to do with the damage incurred from the heartworm disease and from his mothers death... stress on him and looking for her now that shes been gone awhile. So we are starting him on a heart medication and see if this will help his heart work more efficiently. Well play it by ear and make adjustments as needed... But she really does think him missing his mom has a big part to play... He literally has a broken heart and it makes me so sad for him and he has been so clingy and we have been loving on him so much. I pray that we can get him through this... The picture is from tonight while we were waiting at the office for his blood work results... One good thing, she gave him a full manicure clipping his nails and he got about 6 treats.... Thank you all for being there for me and for us...
