How long?

Another scare last Sunday night. In lockdown we don't get to see many people or other dogs. Sunday afternoon was different. A beautiful Tuscan winter's afternoon and all the world seemed to be walking their dogs down this little road. My lot went crazy and as if that wasn't enough the goatherd and his family, friends, dog and new puppy came over to pick the late fruit off the trees in the garden area next to me. Mad hour and Sharav just deeply upset and barking all the time. He gets more troubled if I shut him in so there was nothing to be done and he seemed ok at feeding time and throughout the evening but he came ustairs to ge me in the night, shaking, looing very sick, wandering about house and garden completely out of it, coughing with fluid coming up - very bad. I thought it was the end - nothing I could do - just make comfortable and sit with him and pray. Slowly, slowly he improved - I suspect congestive heart failure but to get to a vet or call one in is virtually impossible. He probably need Fortekor - a medication that has eased and prolonged several of my dog's lives over the years - the active drug (an ACE inhibitor) can be obtained in milder form from pharmacies (if certain that is what is needed)- if only I can get to one or get someone to go - or, better still to ty and get Michael and a car here.......he is ill and still stuck in Cyprus,,,,,,keep praying.
