Question Sir

Earlier you advised that "Considering his age and signs, all i can suggest is to take him to your vet to rule out common diseases like heart failure, COPD or tracheal collapse. Inflamed airways and Kennel cough may also cause such symptoms. If he find difficult to breath after walk, exercise/running etc, the vet would consider heart problems like left side heart failure. Some dogs commonly have respiratory disease (i.e., collapsing trachea, COPD) coexistent with heart disease also. The best way to rule out all these diseases and to have specific treatment is get him radiography , ECG and if possible echocardiography. Your vet might prescribe medications symptomatically till all the investigations are complete. "

I take my dog to Frendesco Seca, Defence Colony. You are requested to tell which is the good place for the above-mentioned tests. If not, you are requested to tell the place nearby Defence Colony, where I can get his good treatement.
