Buddie

[BarbTherese]

My little Maltese Cross, Buddie, has a cough.  I have taken him to the vet a few times and there seems to be problems diagnosing what the problem actually is.  The next step would be an XRay the vet told me last visit at a cost of around $600.  I don't have that sort of money coupled with the cost of the treatment after the XRay - in the past three months I have already spent $600 on vet fees.  I am very concerned - as Buddie grows older (now about 12yrs) he is having more and more health problems.  If this current problem and cough is an enlarged heart, it is terminal apparently with no known cure.  Today is the feast of St Clare here in Australia, who is associated with St Francis of Assisi, who loved animals.  A prayer would really be appreciated and prayer for your own intentions.  Thank you!
