lblanchard | Mr. Darcy is coughing (Reply)

Mr. Darcy has an odd cough. He's always been high-strung and has always panted. Now, some of his pants are turning into forcible exhales that sound distinctively cough-like. Sounds a bit like a cat gearing up to hack up a hairball, too, but it stops after three or four coughs. I think his energy level is flagging a bit, too.

Time to go to the vet, I think. I have the uneasy feeling that I forgot all about heartworm meds while I had all the family illness of the past four years. I hope that's not it. Maybe it will just be another one of those things that comes with age.
