Does the Vet know what the primary cause is- ie respiratory/infection or cardiac ?

I think they are treating for infection first jane and asked me to update them on how he was doing . I thought he was doing well when he came home because he is eating well they said he only ate bannana when he was kept in the vets for a few days but his breathing has not improved all that well . I dont know what to do for the best he doesn't like being caged he likes to be out but if i let him out he runs around so much his breathing gets worse . I think that might be why they said we might need to judge his quality of life , i wouldn't like to see him like this long term its not fair to keep him inside caged up when he is normaly outside in his run all day

Did the Vet mention anything about the possibility of it being cardiac related?
Did the heart look to be a normal size on the Xray ?
What breed is he ?
