    We went back to the vet today, and unfortuantely, don't know anymore then we did a month ago. He lungs little little worse (fluid, congenstion, something in her lungs), but the size of her heart has not changed. He is not hearing anything, so no change there (her wasn't before either).

    The vet would to take wait and see approach for a few weeks. We are going to take her off the medicine, and see if she starts coughing again. If she does, we do more diagnosis. If not, we leave well enough alone, keep an eye on her. We did schedule an appointment for anothermonth to check things our again, but of course can get her in soonerif needed. Maybe she has always had a slightly larger then normal heart.

    Waiting makes me nervous, but I also agree that it doesn't seem to make sense to fill her full of drugs if she is showing no symptoms of anything. We talked about the possibility of cancer (esp. after Sherman), but he showed us onthe X-ray where he would expect to see things if that was it and what he would expect different. That does not seem to be a concern at this point.

    So, please keep Cincy in your prayers, that we are just worry-warts and she is just out unique little Cincy girl!

    Cincy is still in our prayers. Just to reassure you, the specialists here said that cancer beginning in the lungs is EXTREMELY rare, they almost never see it. (Rare enough that the x-rays of Sherman's legs & lungs are being used as teaching aides for training new vets. We gave them permission to use them.) I think it's great the vet discussed it & showed you her x-rays. Hopefully she'll be just fine without any further treatment. Please give her a kiss right on that cute little head of hers for me!
