Zen, Tod's younger, smaller brother, or his little 'sidekick' has been diagnosed about a month back by the vets as having a really bad heart murmer. He had developed a constant cough.
Zen is 14 yrs 4 months, just 2 months younger than tod's age when he passed-on.
When Tod was given the '4 outof 5' figure for his bad heart i think he lived for another 6 weeks or so.
With Zen, there is no outward appearance of his condition, meds. off the vets have eased the cough alot.
Zen has been colasping a few times over the last few years, his back legs just go & he fails to get up, it only lasts for seconds usually and then he seems 'right as rain' though it is very distressing to see
Rome our Dalamation dog seems fine on his urine stone human tablets he takes
and Zen is being real fussy with food & is enjoying human food instead of DOG food, sound familiar ? lol

ADDED NOTE:
mind chatter - 'crazy fool'
this is a term my young kids & i used for our sheepdog when he was alive. Nice to hear this term again, brought back memories of 'happiness', 'joy' & 'comfort' - 'Boy! - i miss that dog...... and those days!'
