Congestive heart failure

Has anyone had a dog who was diagnosed with CHF? Bear is between 11-12. He was a rescue and his vet records have different birth dates on them. He just went to his annual vet checkup and they found he had a heart murmur and fluid in his lungs. He will need to be on medication for the rest of his life. The vet said these could prolong life for a couple more years. I logically know this is a part of his particular aging process, but like anyone I can’t stand to think of him being in pain or passing. Any recommendations for further ways to provide him comfort?

thank you all❤️‍🩹

I joined this reddit a few days after my basset was put to sleep in August; I missed his big droopy face and needed my fix of ears that are longer than legs! I just wanted to say how much comfort seeing all of your gorgeous bassets has brought me. As much as I miss my Ozzy, it’s been one of my glimmers of joy during the day opening reddit and looking at all of your gorgeous dogs, (fyi if any of you happen to live in London, UK and wanted to let me cuddle your basset and become besties with them that would also be lovely, half joking, but if it was offered i’d be there haha)

So yeah, thank you all for helping to heal this huge basset shaped hole in my heart. In return, here’s some pictures of my handsome and stinky boy, I love you forever ❤️
