Naomi, my heart is going out to you. I am sending all the good thoughts I have to Bassett.
We went through this last year with Mini, but the x-ray showed his heart was filling with blood, not white fluid, so I can't provide any more insight. It's impossible to tell at this stage so I hope the tests show something conclusive and curable.
If you feel up to it, try some Google searches for feline heart disease, heart murmurs, cardiomyopathy, cancer etc. It of course doesn't replace veterinary diagnosis, but when we were going through this, it just helped me feel better because I was more informed of the possibilities and knew that other people had gone through the same thing.
Please let us know as soon as you hear something.
I'm a bit concerned that your specialist doesn't make payment plans. Either has been burnt before or not an animal lover? Just seems strange.
