This is Henry. He turned 14 a month ago. Unfortunately on his 14 birthday we rushed him to the emergency vet. He is in congestive heart failure and lungs were filling with fluid. One of his valves is shot. He spent 3 days at the hospital on oxygen as they tried to reduce the fluid and get him breathing normally. That’s him is his oxygen chamber. The morning we were going to make the decision the doctor called and said you’re never going to believe this but he’s breathing on his own and can go home. He’s on some heart meds and we have to try to keep him calm for the most part but he’s here. We found him 13 years ago after he got hit by a car. On 3 legs got up and ran away from all the people trying to help him. He wound up hiding right outside our front door with a broken leg. Through all that pain he never made a sound. A pin and a screw later and he’s been ours forever. He’s been expensive but well worth it. Toughest little dog I’ve ever seen.
