Only experience is my GSD as a kid who did well with treatment, so no advice but sending Lilly healing thoughts.

Weight loss and shortness of breath, yes. When I adopted him Oct 27th he weighed 75lb, now he's at 63. With his size and bone structure he could easily carry 85-90. I attributed that to his constant diarrhea. Come to find out he can't tolerate grains either. The diarrhea is gone now that I have him on a fish/sweet potato food. Hopefully between that and the heartworms getting gone he'll start to gain weight.Originally Posted By: Lilly`s MomSounds like Cash is very sick if he is stage 3. Did you notice symptoms. I haven`t seen any in Lilly. She pants a lot after her walks but this is Florida so I just put it down to being hot. She hasn`t coughed.

Does cash have any shortness of breath or coughing as a result of treatment? I think his case was more advanced than Lilly.
