Default HELP PLEASE My Yorkie has his heart too close to his chest cavity !!!

This problem was picked up on a routine health check pre booster vac, today.



The vet has said. Teddy's The sounds too loud on the left side, and our vet says it seems / sounds to be too close to the chest cavity, either the heart is enlarged, or the chest cavity is too small.

He has always been a little prone to get out of breath more quickly than I would expect a young dog to get. Our vet was aware, but nothing has ever shown up until now, he is only 3 years old.

I know you cannot make a heart smaller. But Can you make a chest cavity larger. The vet has said it is NOT a heart murmur.

We have had two Yorkies die from heart probs. (Not genetically related to each other or this one) All different parents.

If the heart cannot fit into the chest that is not a good look.


HAS ANY ONE HAD THIS WITH THIER BABY.

My dad died in April, My oldest Yorkie was put to sleep 4 weeks ago, and now this, my heart is breaking ....
