My pup coughs whenever he runs?
He has a vet appointment on Monday. He does not have a cold or heartworms but his mother did. I found his mother in the road last year in bad shape. I got her and took her to the vet and she had heartworms and vet had to inject her with an arsenic compound to kill the heartworms. She stayed 3 days. I named her Haley. A little over a month later she had puppies. Vet did not know she was pregnant. All died but one who I named Miracle. He is the one that has started this bad cough when he runs. Do any of you think this is from his mom having heartworms and having to go through heartworm treatment while pregnant? I am worried about what the vet is going to tell me on Monday. Haley is Lhasa Apso, and the vet said her pup Miracle looks like Lhasa Apso/Shihtzu.

Sounds like there is a chance the pup is sick from the drug taken to help his mom. Not sure if the arsenic could have harmed the pups heart. I know how upset you must be but it sounds like you can put your trust in your vet. He helped Miracle's mom, he can help Miracle. He is a very strong little guy to have survived where the other pups didn't. My prayers are with you and Miracle. Wish you the best.

You are very smart to have made a vet appointment for your pup. It does sound as if the treatment given to Haley has affected Miracle. A big hug to you rescuing Haley and taking good care of her and I wish you the best with Miracle.
Many dogs can pass on medical problems to their pups, just as humans can pass on medical problems and difficulties to their children. Good luck to you and your pup.

My guess would be that the heartworm treatment caused heart problems in your puppy..

Your dog might have something like azma. Watch her carefully over the weekend. Or she could have eaten something or Lime disease. It also might have had to do something with the mother giving labor. Hope Haleys okay
