Well I dont think she mention anything about the gummy bears lungs...I really hope its not a heart defect...She did say that from the x ray his heart was in 4 bones and its suppose to be in 3...So his heart is a lil bit too big....NO he is breathing okay and he is still active....His urine seems normal too me..... do i google that congestive heart failure

Does the dog have difficulty breathing. Or has stopped being as active as it had been because it maybe getting short of breath? Does the gums get bluish in color?
If you see an enlarged heart ? investiage to rule out congestive heart failure? Is the dog urinating alright?
