Our Schnauzer Smokey is 12 and just got diagnosed with a heart valve problem. He was having coughing spells that lasted 5 minutes sometimes. X-ray showed his heart has enlarged and was pushing on his wind pipe when he laid a certain way. The Doc prescribed Vetmedin and Lasixs and within 2 days the coughing was gone and his appetite and activity level were way up! The downside? The 10mg pills cost $3.60 each from the vet and he gets 1 per day and he's on them the rest of his life. Searched on-line for hours and cannot find anyone who actually has Vetmedin in stock. They list it for around $2/pill but have none to ship.
