Doctors still haven’t figured out what happened and are doing tests to find out the exact cause of the chest pains, with a heart attack as a possible cause.

TMZ reported that the doctors are trying to see if he needs some type of corrective surgery.

His rep told TMZ: ‘I can confirm Dog is under doctor’s care and is resting comfortably. Thank you for all your well wishes – keep ’em coming.’

The news comes just three months after he lost his wife Beth to cancer.

Dog announced her passing on June 26, 2019 via Twitter: ‘It’s 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side.’

Beth died at age 51 due to cancer. 

Beth was diagnosed with stage II throat cancer in 2017 but by December of that year was announced to be cancer free.

By November of 2018, the cancer returned and she underwent chemotherapy before stopping treatment by mid-May.

In April, she was rushed to the hospital for breathing trouble related to the chemotherapy. 

In early August, burglars robbed his Colorado store – and took items belonging to Beth – including her personal bounty hunting gear, according to TMZ.

Days later, he narrowly avoided a $430,000 scam to fly to Dubai for a speech; Dog and his literary agent Alan Nevins of Renaissance Talent noticed red flags and didn’t end up cashing the check.

The star’s new show Dog’s Most Wanted, which debuted on September 4 on WGN America, features footage of his late wife Beth.

He told TMZ that it was ‘too difficult’ to watch the footage and stayed out of the editing process of the show.
