Did they test for heartworms? Just asking because coughing and heart murmer can be symptoms.

That is a very good question, and there was some discussion about that. No, we did not do a blood test for heartworms last night. The vet thought he was stressed enough. What she did tell me to do is to call the shelter to see if they checked for heartworms, because they did give him a pill (preventative) for heartworms, and she said that usually isn't done until after they are sure that he is heartworm negative. So since she suspects it may have been done, I am to call them today (thanks for the reminder) and if it hasn't been done, we will draw blood at the same time as the x-ray.
