To be blunt...is there any hope if it is in fact cancer or heart disease? This is our 3rd Tibetan and we lost the past 2 in the same manner except for the coughing. They both stopped eating and we put them down after finding liver cancer in one and heart disease in the other. Basically, we all agreed that this one has lived a great life and we do not want to put him through any more testing than he has already gone through. However, I have a glimpse of hope left in me since this all started with the coughing and our other dog caught it from him and got over it in a week.

Anyway, his chest is not swollen and the cough is very dry. If you have any medication suggestions to help with the coughing that would be great. Further x-rays is pretty much out of the scenario unless there is reasoning other than cancer to do so that would link the coughing to it.

I just got off the phone with the vet...thus I wrote this feeling pretty negative about the whole situation.
