Yowls and Congestive Heart Disease
I'm going to describe my dogs last days in case someone should google for this info. A 15 year old Tibetan-Terrier, he started coughing last summer. We put him on meds to decrease water retention in the lungs. Everything was going fairly good but a few weeks ago he suddenly got worse. The vet was going to increase the dosage but we never got around to that. He would just keel over at times and yowl loudly, this happened maybe a dozen times in a week. He lost bladder control and would often just stand totally disoriented. We took him to the vet for a last time today. I'd like to know if he had been yowling because of heart failure pain, from pain from the act of collapsing, or because of panic? I have seen dogs hit by cars and even badly shot and yowling in agony, it's impossible to bear such vocalizations. I also know that cardiac infarction can be very painful but this was probably not that. Severe arrhythmia or fibrillation while not painful in my experience can cause severe panic and I don't think one could make any sounds during such episodes. |
