| Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. It has been hot and humid here. I took Maggie to the park very early as I didn't think the heat and humidity would be a factor that early. The vet thinks the heavy breathing and panting is due to her vomiting. I don't know if I agree with that. Today she didn't vomit until after she had almost collapsed. On Tuesday she vomited before the heavy breathing but it was much earlier in the day. She does the same thing in cooler weather, only it's not as bad. No matter what the weather is, she heads for the tile or laminate floors and lays down, always breathing heavily and panting. But nothing like the past couple of days. She has slept all day, going out to potty one time. If she doesn't improve drastically, I will be taking her to a cardiologist.

| OK...I am totally confused. I thought you said it only happens after walks in the heat and humidity. If this is happening ANY other time, I would go to a specialist. Probably Internal Med first...and either Sugarland or the vet at GCVS I told you about.

She's worse in the heat and humidity. She's had trouble almost since she was a baby with not walking very far before having to be picked up. When I pick her up she is panting and breathing heavy. It was never as bad as the last few days. In the past, she hasn't had the vomiting issue, just the breathing. At check-ups, I've always asked about her heart and been told "it sounds good". But yes, she has always had this issue but nothing like the video and today.

| I know this is very scary, and I'm so sorry. The symptoms you described are what I experienced with one of my little ones before she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. It might be something else, and I don't want to alarm you, but I agree with Ladyjane that I'd see an internal medicine specialist or a cardiologist. An echocardiogram would probably give you much more conclusive evidence than you have now. I hope your little girl gets better soon.

| A&M is a wonderful place. I have heard nothing but good about them.

| I would have been at A&M immediately after the first event. There needs to be specialists involved....and I would want a cardiologist to have some input. I would not wait for this to fix itself....this is NOT normal and needs to be addressed. But then, I dont mess around...I grab the bull by the horns and get answers and solutions ASAP. |
