Yep, Jim's had this too. I read somewhere that MS can mess with your lungs. I knew a vet with ms that was on a respirator but his case was rare. It's more likely the heat, humidity and storms playing havoc on your respiratory. Jim could never live in areas where the heat and humidity was so bad. Illinois is bad enough.

Hope it gets better but be sure to keep an eye on it and call the doctor if it continues because some of us just play doctors on here, in real life we're just normal peepers. LOL

In all seriousness, Jim was dx'd with blood clots in his lungs when he went through kidney failure. We had no clue he even had them. The pulmonary doctor said his was the kind that start out small and clump together to cause respiratory failure. He said people with that can die in an instant. Scared the bejeezers out of us. Almost made us thankful he got sick so that was found by chance. He now takes a 81mg aspirin daily to keep them at bay after two years on Cumidin.
