I sold a puppy a few years ago who was quite small. After she left the owners vet said due to her size they suspected possible liver shunt. They did blood tests and thankfully they came back okay. But they also did an xray and said her heart was enlarged. I was just sure the puppy had a congential heart defect and was worried sick about it for two weeks until the people took her in to the specialist.
To my amazement the owners contacted me with wonderful news. Her heart was very normal, but due to her size it was a bit bigger, but the specialist said that was okay for her.
I get occasional pics of the little girl and she is 2 now. SO far so good. She is spunky cute and healthy.
I hope this is also the news you hear, that the size of her heart is right for her and not part the problem.
Well wishes sent your way.
