Well, he saw the vet today. They managed to get a good x ray this time. His heart and lungs are surrounded by fluid. His lungs have a large amount of fluid in them. He is on Lasix now.
She thinks it is one of two things: either fungus in his lungs, (and he is on treatment for that, as it is treatable), or it is a tumour, just by the way the x ray looks.
So another week of meds, and we are to take him back on Monday.
The only thing about the fungal infection is, she said they get it from sniffing soil. We have no soil in our back yard right now, haven't for months.(snow)
Poor Duke. This is such a bad month, as my dad is still not good, and now Duke. when it rains it poors. We need drool, folks!!
