Dear Pet Forum Community,

My Cocker Spaniel - named "Carlo" is 9yr. old dog...

He cough, and after that has a short inpulse as vomiting but he doesnt't vomit anything...sometimes has fast breathing like not

having enough air accompaned with something like small whisteling

Doc. says that he have a "small" bronchitis because of extended heart (as seen on Rendtgen pic. ) /or vice versa?/.
He is also...a little bit...FAT.vets said that the extended heart can be also cosed by the overmuch weight

Any therapy or second diagnostic opinion ?

Can YOU HELP HIM, pls, tell me...what to do ??

Thanks a lot, best wishes and regards,
Margarita.

Hello, I would say go with the vets advice. Coughing can be caused by being overweight in what is called a "Tracheal Collapse". Your vet is the only one who has seen the dog in the flesh so to speak, so he or she will give the best advice.

Go to vet asap and get him checked over. An enlarged heart can cause fluid retention which makes dogs cough.
