Question
(Answer   How is your little one? )
Thanks so much for asking again! I'm VERY happy to report, he is doing MUCH better. I ended up taking him in again that night, which turned into a very bad night. His vet was on call, met us at the office at 1:30am, and he was in bad, bad shape. It was in fact pneumonia, and he was starting to shut down. She drained fluid off his lungs, twice, but wasn't working great. His body temp was dropping, and she asked me to leave, and leave him with her. She said she'd try all she could, that it didn't look good. I was so upset, cried all night, and only got an hour of sleep. I was so afraid to call the next morning to see how he was, for fear of the answer. I finally got ahold of the vet, and he said he was doing GREAT! but wanted to keep him overnight once more to observe him. THe next day, i was able to pick him up and bring him home!!! He's afraid he has an enlarged heart, and he's been on amox. since. But i am VERY happy to say he is a happy, playful little guy. He still has to take it a little easy if he plays a little too hard. Thank you so much for your help and concern.
Do you have any experience with enlarged hearts? I'm afraid i don't know too much about them.

Answer
Oh, thank the good Lord!!! I truly was worried about him. There are some really bad vets out there and you may have found one. I am grateful to your vet that she got him right in and saved his life.

I don't know anything about enlarged hearts. Do some research on the Internet and find out all  you can.

I am so happy your little man is much improved. Very happy indeed!!
