Perhaps me. Reese was diagnosed via an x ray. Absolutely no other symptoms of a heart issue. I took him to a cardiologist who explained veterinarians compare heart sizes to a image chart. Yorkie's hearts are larger...but didn't we know that? Reese's heart is fine.

A cardiologist won't rely on an x ray for their diagnosis either. Reese had an ultrasound performed. The cost of the visit and test was around $225.
