Update on the Steve

We took Stevie back to the Vet yesterday. We have decided to do preventative medication for his congestive heart failure and his heart murmur. The cost will be around $20 for a 3 month supply. He will be on the heart medicine once a day for the rest of this life. They Vet also gave us some Lasix medicine as a just in case if he started coughing again to give him, so that we didn't have to make another visit to the vet's office.

This is great news! They then gave Stevie his yearly shots. I would think that if they thought his prognosis was bad they would not give him these shots.

Last night he scared the bejeezers out of me. It was like 3am and he started his coughing. I don't know if he got choked or what but I gave him his Lasix medicine... Gosh I wish dogs could talk!

The Vet said we will see you next year. You don't have to bring him back unless you see a huge decline and just get his medicines refilled as needed! What a huge relief for us!!
