It ALWAYS happens on the weekends, middle of the night, or holidays....they may not know your dog, but they know CHF and they know how to treat it...My baby lived, symptom free, with Lasix and Vasotec, for 8 years, passing at age 16....I had rushed her to the vet with the same symptoms you just described....is Lasix the only medication your baby is on? He needs cardiac drugs to regulate rate and rhythm....if your vet does not have your pup on anything but a fluid pill, you need to have him seen by another vet! I would not suggest letting him go until he has been adequately cared for and receiving a proper medication protocol for his diagnosis! Take him to the emergency vet and let them help him! And then, if he has only been given Lasix by your regular vet, I would have him seen by a cardiologist! This baby could have years of symptom free life left, under proper medical management!
