One night, I had a bunch of Christmas presents to wrap, and I made several (like six or seven) very quick trips across the house and up and down the stairs, gathering the gifts and the wrapping materials to do the job upstairs. He matched me step for step, and never showed any sort of distress or breathing problems, TOTALLY normal after all that activity. The next day I had him at the vet for a semi-annual exam and mentioned his sometimes strange breathing, and the vet did a chest X-ray and found the enlarged heart and fluid in his lungs.

I would get a simple chest X-ray, just to be safe.

If that's all it takes to make a diagnosis, I'll get that tomorrow. And what procedures were done after the diagnosis?
