“My cavalier Charlie is finding it very hard to breath ”

★★★★☆

written by on 16/06/2013

My cavalier will be 10 year old this Christmas, and over the past few days we have noticed that he is breathing heavily. We took him for a walk today and he only got half way and couldn't walk anymore and was struggling for breath, we had to carry him home, he is usually bouncing when we take him over the park and loves checking out everything but now he doesn't want to do anything, not even getting up to greet us when we come home. He is off his food as well and seems to have lost weight in a matter of days. Does anyone have any answers for me, we are taking him to the vets tomorrow but are desperately worried because he has changed so much and it's so upsetting to see him not being his usual lively self.

Sorry to hear your dogs not well, but he might be having trouble with his heart. Cavaliers are prone to heart problems, and your dog is approaching the life span of this breed; 7 - 12. My Cavalier was put to sleep today age almost 13. He had a host of health problems, including diabetes. I am heartbroken

Hi there,
I have a 13yrs old Cavalier mixed maltese. She is more a cavalier by nature. In early August, I took Pearl for a walk and same as you, she sat down and couldn't walk, carried her home and took her to the Vet next day. Was given some medication. First few days, she refused to eat except a bit of water and her smacghos, massage her when ever I could. The next 2 to 3 weeks, she was looking better bouncing and greeting us when we come home, took her slow walk to the Park, looking her usual self. Sadly last Friday, 29th August she was coughing badly and looking weak. Next day I took her for my follow up appointment with the Vet, she looks so weak and her gum was white. Sadly I have to put her down as advised by the Vet. It is very very heartbreaking.
