 Update
As it turns out, the enlarged heart was found incidently, but is not what is causing the problem at this time. She has lymphangiectasia and the PLE is her immediate concern. The Vet has given her various treatments, among them are antibiotics, fluids and plasma, also has her on daily calcium shots, and prednisone. In addition she was on a special high calorie/protein canned food but has now begun to eat again and has finished that and is back on eating her regular Science Diet.
Right now she is doing well, she is active and playing, full of energy (from the predisone probably). As you probably know the outlook is guarded but for now she is doing well.
Again thanks for all your help and kind words.
