Last night our 8 week old Pug named Siya started having extremely labored respirations. She had been fine up until last night aside from the normal Pug breathing issues. She was out in the garage with us visiting w/ the neighbors having a great time then later when we came in she started having the respiratory problems. We thought it was possibly an allergic reaction so we gave her Benadryl this didn't help much so my wife & I were up through the night watching her. MY wife took her to the vet where they treated her with Oxygen therapy and some bronchial dialators. They took x-rays and said they think she has a enlarged heart? They said she may require surgery but there is no gaurantee I gues my question is if the heart is enlarged why the sudden onset it seems that we would have noticed this sooner as she has been a normal puppy til now.
Has anyone elase experienced this with their puppy? If so what did you do for treatment? And what was the outcome?
PLEASE! Any information would be greatly appreciated....My wife & kids are very upset about all this...
Thank you,
JB
