OK.. Let me first state that this is reguarding my 15 year old Chihuahua.. He was born June 19th 1995..
I had given my mom the money to take him to the vet about 5 months ago because of a cough.. They gave him some meds.. But I cant for the life of me remember what they were..
Anyways.. They never helped.. So.. What do I do? I take him back to the same vet.. For the same reason.. They say they cant seem to find anything wrong with him.. :?
Thats strange to me.. I can put my ear to his chest and I can hear a crackling sound.. :? He is always coughing.. Like a dry heave.. Any time he sneezes he has some nasty boogers come out of his nose..
So I take him to the same vet AGAIN... They still cant seem to find nothing wrong with him..
OK.. Now I think they are a bunch of idiots that charged me $175 for a bunch of test they "say" they ran..
Now I am completely done with that vet...
I had my mom take him to another vet here recently.. I dont know the name of it I didnt go.. She said they took some test and what not.. I have no clue what they are looking for either... Can you guess what they said?
"We are sorry.. But.. We cant seem to find nothing wrong with your dog.." :? :wall:
Really? Two different vets.. Four different checkups.. Neither one of them can tell me why my dog is coughing.. UGH!
Is it possible that there is nothing wrong with him? Just his old age catching up with him maybe? He still runs around like a pup.. Plays with the younger dogs.. Not really having any bone problems.. No limps.. Nothing..
Just a nasty cough.. The thing about the cough.. He gets to coughing the more excited he gets.. The more he plays with the younger dogs.. The more he coughs.. But after he is done coughing he goes back to playing..
I know he is getting old.. I am going to be torn when I loose this little guy.. I hope he has another 20 years left in him..
Anyways.. I am only posting this because I know there are some vet techs here & many very knowledgeable dog people to.. What are y'alls opinion? Is it age or are my vets stupid?
