It varies from dog to dog and depending on the heartworm load. From the info you’ve given, I couldn’t tell you if your dog might have heartworms or heartburn…could be anything. If you live in an area where heartworm is endemic and she hasn’t had heartworm preventative in 6 months then you and she would have to be very lucky for her not to have heartworm. Take her to the vet and get her blood checked. It’s not expensive and it takes less than 15 minutes and then you’ll know for sure.
