2. 10 years old

4. Spayed
5. Chihuahua
6. 5 lbs.
7. She eats well, is energized, active but does like to rest a lot (always has). That’s improved with Donna Eden energy work, supplements and daily sniff walks just in the past week but the cough is worse. She has some arthritis, licks her joints a lot and doesn’t love the stairs but sometimes she’s super energetic on them so it depends. I take her to a chiropractor every 3 months(increasing that to monthly) bc one of her hips gets slightly off then causes her discomfort in her back. This started last year.
8. 50% protein & 50% mixed veggies pureed
9. She is not on any medications and has not had vaccines since 2019. And she only had her first year round her 1st year then after that I did 2 rabies. I have done heavy metal detoxes & parasite cleanses to get the toxicity down from them.
10. Mitral valve disease diagnosed in February with X-ray seen of structural change to heart and has cough. Her liver was elevated last I checked in Dec. Hers was 263 instead of the normal 10-125. The doctor thought it could be her inflammation in the mouth which I agreed so we addressed the teeth first & all dead teeth removed. Have not tested it since. I signed up for HA, but I’m limited on resources and cannot spend hundreds more with a vet.
11. Taurine(250 mg), CoQ10(50 mg), Organic Hawthorne Berry(50 mg), L-Carnitine (300 mg), Vita E (10 IU). ION Gut support for digestion, kidney support & immune function. Fish oil on food. Donna Eden energy work. Minerals in water. Magnesium oil heart messages. 2 daily sniff walks. Half a dropper of organic dandelion root as a diuretic to help with fluid & cough. I’ve increased that to 3 times a day bc of the cough increase. I did notice it working til we took pimobendan.
Coughs like she’s hacking something wet up. Is there any reason I should think it’s something besides the heart? I’m certain with the change to her heart in X-ray, that’s what it is but curious.
Her cough has excelerated a lot in the past week since I had put her on pimobendan for 5 days then took her off bc the side effects were way too much in a short period of time. It was decreasing before pimo when I was giving dandelion but now when I up the dandelion I’m getting no changes so I’m pausing to try NAC and honestly the day I tried it(just 2 days ago), I noticed a decreased. Has anyone used NAC to decrease fluid in lungs?
*Update I noticed a decrease in cough but early morning & late night she’s coughing consistently.*
I’ve also heard from holistic vet Dr Jones on YOUTUBE “Vet Secrets” that if dandelion tincture doesn’t include dandelion leaf it doesn’t work as effectively so I may order a pet dandelion tincture with the leaf.
I’ve healed many things in my life with myself doctors said I couldn’t so I have faith in reversing this. But I’m concerned with the increase with the cough. Wish I had never chosen fear over my intuition to try that medication.
Our goals are to get the cough gone,
heart stronger, more energized for walks and happier/less stressed mood. Everything but the cough is improving, granted I just took her off the medication 05/15 and she started the 05/10.
I will say I see her eyes clearing up, healthier hair, muscle tone and even in the past few days she is much more alert, increased energy which I believe is because of the CoQ10. Just this cough.. I even feel her heart is pumping at a healthier pace, not as loud.
