Tick Extermination

Coughing and exercise intolerance are poster child symptoms for heart conditions. X-rays are absolutely the next step you should take above other diagnostics.

Thank you making your opinion clear. As mentioned that was the one thing I remember after Andy's tests came up empty. When I contacted Andy's Vet shortly after about a car trip of 2400 miles, he suggested the X-rays. With Karen the Mayor, Pomtzu, and your suggestion, I fell at ease with with what was originally mention by Andy's Vet. I didn't narrow it down to that only because after being told the obvious was ruled out and for the first time I was dealing with ticks. With that and desperate internet searches I came up with tick paralysis, which after I examined the topic closer, is primarily a condition in Australia. In that search for a solid answer I came across this forum, which is the first one I've participated in, and am grateful for. Thank you
