Lewis F Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Well today was the third trip to the vets for my 2 year old springer spaniel. Each time saying it was kennel cough, they have now x-rayed her and found her heart is 12inches as opposed to 8inches where it should be. She has been referred to a Cardiologist who is going to tell us what has the caused this or if she was born like it, I am expecting the worse. So it looks like my season is well and truly over before it has even started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0850 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 That's terrible news, heart wrenching. Sorry to hear that mate. Don't lose hope though, my father in laws lab had a similar condition as a young dog and he's now an old codger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Does she have a murmur? Do you know who the 'heart vet' is? What are the clinical signs (other than a cough)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still in the dark, wont know a thing till I see the cardio vet, I think the name of the vet is Chris Burton. Other symptoms lack of energy/stamina, random panting. Thats a shame mate hope it works out ok ,my cocker has got to go under the knife in the next few weeks for a nasty bowel problem ,not looking forward to it. Cheers mate I hope so! Sorry to hear that!hope he/she is ok!let us know how it goes on! good luck. Hope all comes good for you mate Thanks a lot mate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
