What got my suspicions up in Bijou's case was the sudden onset of symptoms. Heart disease is in most cases progressive, not sudden. I gave my vet a good history for Bijou but he dismissed that and stayed firm with his opinion. If you have all the testing done for Bentley, I'm sure you'll get a definite diagnosis. At least from there, you can do what is best for him and be certain you're doing the right thing. I sure hope your vet was wrong, too. This whole episode has been an emotional roller coaster for us with all the worries and I'm sure it is for you, too. Good luck with everything and keep us posted on Bentley.
