    Hi Johnstor, I have moved your question to it's own topic.
    It's best not to piggyback your question onto someone else's especially when it's a few years old.

    Has the vet confirmed that it may be a heart problem?
    I would not give Asprin for a heart problem, no.

    Coughing can be an indication of many things, from worms, to a heart murmur to kennel cough. You need your vet to confirm what is wrong.

    I agree way too many possibilities. And usually when dogs have heart issues, Asprin is not recommended. One of my dogs has a grade 3 heart murmer, and sometimes she gets coughing fits, asprin for her is a big time no-no.

    You definitely need to ask your vet. What exactly is the heart problem?
