 I got home from the rescue center yesterday and went into the garden with the dogs to give Harry a game of fetch, it was fairly warm and Len lay down in the sun and watched us for a while. Suddenly he got up and charged around the garden chasing Harry (he does this every day) but then stopped panting heavily (something he never does) then started screaming, really screaming like he was in loads of pain, I ran over to him and hugged him, at the same time feeling his muscles thinking he has pulled something and he just collapsed! Luckily he recovered quickley and seems okay now...but I don't know what to do, do I take it easy for a few day or for the rest of his life? Could he have another soon? My boy used to walk 5-12 miles with me every day and no one would believe me when I said he was 10yrs old. What do I do?

If it was me i'd take him to the vets straight away, if it was a heart attact surely they could do some tests and maybe come up with some sort of medical help, or at least offer you some professional advice. Good luck and look after him.  |

The vets will know from a blood test whether he's suffered a heart attack or not. Poor old Len - he looks such a loveable, sweet-natured dog. We all hope it's nothing that serious, and send our best wishes to him for a successful outcome. |

Yes he has an appointment for tomorrow morning. He seems okay in himself but I'm not letting him exercise

Lenny is much better now. The vet says he has recovered well and doesn't need any medication, just cut his exercise down a small amount. He doesn't seem effected by it!
