> Time for a vet appointment. This sounds like ascites, which can be from several things including heart disease or kidney disease. She needs some blood tests, a chest x-ray and likely an ultrasound. We have usually seen this pattern with cardiomyopathy.
Thanks for the reply. Question: Shouldn't one of her vets have picked up on this? I mean she had the surgery 5/30/02 and was treated the middle of June for gastric ulcers where she had a check-up (no blood work). Wouldn't someone have heard something when checking her heart?
Thanks
