Pomeranian with continuous cough
by: Anonymous

I just recently volunteered to Foster an older pomy who was rescued by a pom group in my area. They were not sure of her age, they think she's 7, I'd say around 9 since she has very few teeth left and already getting the blue cloud in her little black eyes...She also had four surgeries the week before I brought her home. She had a double hernia, bladder/kidney stones removed, spay, and had a mammary tumor removed, and also dental. I understand I will probably be a permanent Foster and do not think she will ever be adopted as she has many health issues. She goes pee a lot, I mean A LOT..but I think this is due to the kidney stones, which I do not mind cleaning up after her. I bought baby pampers and poked a hole in the back for her tail and rig the diaper to where it does not fall down and is held up by her sweater. She will go every five minutes but only pees a.dime sized spot of pee. She also coughs a lot. I understand that due to all of her surgeries that her trachea could have been damaged. The lady at the Foster group says has thinks she has heart problems bc she is so old. It is a dry hacking type cough that goes on for a while. When I took her to the home of the lady who runs the rescue group she did not say to take her to the vet, she kinda just diagnosed the.dog herself and I brought her back home. I don't make a whole lot, I support my whole family, and have two poms of my own so I can't afford an outrageous vet bill. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I ask the.rescue group to pay for her to see a vet? Is there something I can do myself to make her comfortable? This old girl has been through so much. I don't want to send her back to the rescue lady bc she has several and this poor girl will live in her cage the.rest of her life bc she pees an they wont be as patient with carpet cleaning or diapers all the time. Any tips?

CONTINUOUS COUGH
by: Anonymous

My female pom is 9 years old and she was doing the same thing over a year ago so I took her into our vet. He said the continuous cough was because her heart was enlarged just a little and putting pressure on her trachea. We did two weeks of steroids and she only coughs now when she has a cold.

Have someone check out his trachea for colapsing. they can stint it, very expensive but worth it!
