In the middle of adopting a dog from a rescue group we found out he's heart is enlarged? General Dog Discussions
Saturday the foster mom of a 5 year old dog coonhound we want to adopt is coming for a home visit, he is coming with her. We had two interviews over the phone already. The adopted owner had taken the dog to the vet. The dog has had a slight cough. The vet did a chest X-ray and said they found nothing wrong with his lungs. But he does have an enlarged heart. They asked the vet a ton of questions and said they finally found someone who wants to give him a nice home. The vet said they didn't know what he's out come will be. He could live 6 months a year, two years or even years from now. My husband and kids have already met the dog and love him already. We are still considering adopting him. But we are concerned he could pass away and the kids would be heart broken. What are your thoughts? Is it a good idea to take him on? I would hate to give up on him if his heart isn't a huge problem? Any advice is welcomedHe has no heart mummer
