Are you having her seen by a cardiovascular specialist? I would have her diagnosed by a specialist in that field....I think your prognosis may be as little bit better than you have been given....Either go to a vet school or go to a heart/lung specialist...they can get that trachea prognosis accurate for you also....then they will know what meds to give for the heart....I had a little girl go into congestive heart failure and rupture a leaflett on a valve so she was having blood pool and back up in her heart...she also developed an enlarged heart....not severe, but enlarged non the less...they started her on Lasdix, Vasotec, and low sodium diet....she was on her meds daily for 4 years, then she didnt need them any more....she lived to 16 years old....and was diagnosed at 9! Seek out experts in the field and take their direction and what they tell you about your babys prognosis...it may not be as grim as you have been led to believe.....
