Our normal vet refuses to see my dog, because we went to the pet ER and they said she had kidney issues and should see a specialist. We can’t afford that. She is over 14 yrs old and I can’t tell if she is comfortable anymore. She has developed a growth on her side that grew what seemed like over night. Mind you she had a growth at one time on her leg (not there anymore just vanished one day) but the vet at that time said ‘old age’ I just don’t know what to do. She has developed this cough (sounds like she is a smoker trying to get something up)
It must be so stressful trying to figure things out when your regular vet can’t help right now. From your description it sounds like your dog is elderly and has developed a new growth on her side that appeared very quickly, along with a persistent cough — both of which could be signs of something that really does need a vet’s eyes on it.
