This Sucks the nurse at the vets pretty much told me yesterday my old dog is on borrowed time. The vet made it sound like if he stays on his meds he would live a good life anywhere from a year to 7. I know the old boy has heart worms but he can't be treated for them since he is about 13 to 15 years of age. It is something like the meds will kill the worms but they could give him a blood clot in his brain or heart killing him. So now he is on Lasix and Aminophylline which costs 25 bucks for two weeks. The pills are pretty much for humans but are used on dogs as well. So as far as right now I'll play every thing by ear but I just hate this. The good thing even with him on the meds I still baby him. spoil him, take him for his daily walk, and play with him. Heck most people can't believe he is as old as he is but he still is active which is good. So theres my thoughts as of right now
