Consult notes
05/03/2026 Reason: Breathing concerns History: O reports this morning went on his walk and was slower than normal, got home and just lay down, then on his side (face seemed to be twitching but no paddling), then panting more than normal afterwards and brought straight down. Had a slightly similar but much more severe episode a few years ago and was seen at MUVH (but O wasn't particularly happy with them at the time). Previously recently had TECABO bilaterally at WAVES, and had cardiac workup with Rita. Also has history of chronic cough which has been slightly worse over the last few days. Regular vet is Morley vet centre.
