Hi all,
I know I'm probably re-hashing old questions I should have searched for but we are really freaking out here. Rupert is 9 years old and having some problems. His back legs are showing signs of displacia (He is currently taking Glaucosamene for this) and he started having strange "passing out" spells. All the more odd because he seems to know they are coming, he always runs to me before it happens, yet the episode is more like a faint than epilepsy according to the vet. So he is also on Benazepril for his heart.
The thing of concern right now is his cough. It sounds like he has phlegm in his throat that he is struggling to clear and it makes it sound like he is gasping for breath. The strange part is his appetite is still great (Well, more than great..he's a boxer!) and he is still active. We can't get him to our vet until Monday so any advice would be appreciated, really appreciated.
Nearly forgot, he is also being prescribed anti inflammatory pills too.
