Yes I was told Smidgen had a heart mumur when she was 12wks old. But its the pneumonia I need to get under control.. & I think she is doing much better today then she was yesterday before going to the vet. The Doxycline wasn't getting rid of the kennel cough and it turned in to the pneumonia.. Beth

Smidgen couldn't have either done. she has pneumonia and congestional heart failer. The kennel cough went to pneumonia. She has always had a heart mumur. So she is on some strong medication, and next to a vaporizer.. Chassis is all good and 5 teeth less!! & I am 500.00 poorer!! & Smidge still needs her shots and teeth done!!! Yikes. Oh and I have a newbie!! I got a Papillon. He is 3 years old, and he is the perfect dog!! I got him for free!! "its a good thing too, cause I thought I would have some extra money from taxes to buy one, but with Smidge sick, I used it on her. His name is Ori, and he is 3 years old. He is neuterd, micro chipped, house broke! He is so good.. He gets along with the girls. He is very mellow, and he sleeps at the foot of the bed.. I really lucked out with him!! So now I have my Pack. I am happy!!! Poor but happy.. Beth
