My dog with heart failure is coughing and shaking. What should I do?

Question

My dog is coughing frequently today. She is also shaking a lot. She is still eating and drinking water. She was diagnosed with early stages of heart disease and prescribed medication for congestive heart failure. She has been doing fine but just started up again the past few days

Coughing can be caused by heart failure. If this is a new symptom after starting meds, or is worsening, it would be best to let the vet treating Lola know so that they can either re-examine her or adjust meds as needed. If she is coughing a lot and is in distress, or is having trouble breathing, seeking emergency care is best.
