Piper 8 year old Great Dane

[jumstead1023]

Piper has had a hard start in life with glaucoma and losing her eyes. Then diagnosed and treated for Pemphigus years ago but has been doing well.
Tonight she coughed a very strange cough (like not enough air getting thru), collapsed and then immediately stood up and has acted fine since. Strange!

Hey Judy!

Sounds like this could be a "cough drop" episode. This is usually seen in small dogs that collapse when they cough.

How's her BEAM?

BTW-Thanks so much for the great video you did which Aruna used at the end of her tour of the site. I really appreciate your making it and your super kind words about HA!

Well Piper does think she is a small dog as you can see she likes the small dog bed better than the large ones! Haha. Her BEAM is good as far as eating, peeing, pooping-drinks a bit more water than before but not a great amount. She still has a bit of an odor from her previous skin issues. She interacts well with the other dogs and loves people and still wants to sit on everyone’s lap. Not a fan of this cold weather but neither am I.
