First welcome to YT. Your vet maybe very correct in an enlarged heart, but I like others would urge you, right now to go to a cardiologist. For sure ask your vet for their recommendation on a cardiologist. Don't worry that you might insult your vet, they should be quite on board with such a dedicated owner wanting a specialist consult.

There are some medications that can help with this condition, if the cardiologist agrees with your vets diagnosis of an enlarged heart.

I will also say the echiocardiogram is very neat to watch as well.

I will share with you the costs I assumed for this specialist consult. Now bear in mind I live in the 4th most expensive city in North America, the specialist consult was $175 and the echocardiogram $450.

If you have a good pet insurance plan, they might cover the costs of this.

I wish you all the best with your pup. Please keep us posted.
