Aaww thank you, Steve is now dropping her off. We have had a cuddle and a chat this morning ( me and Dora not me and Steve!)
I guess the Vet could only do a dorsoventral view ?
Sometimes it is not possible to pick up an abnormality from a dv view alone, but obviously if a GA is out of the question that is all that can be done.
Poor Dora

I read through your thread last night so have a list of meds ready depending on todays outcome :wave:
Dora is home after having bloods and conscious x-rays taken. We are still none the wiser about her condition. The x-rays were completely clear, all areas of her lungs are getting air, they are not compromised in any way. Her heart appeared and sounds normal, no murmurs etc
However her bloods indicate a really low white blood count which suggests a serious infection or her immune system is not working properly :? the rest of her bloods are fine. We do not know why a low white blood count would present itself with such difficulty breathing so some has been sent to the lab for further investigation.
So possibly in a few days we may have some answers and a course of treatment for her or we might not. If the lab can't offer us anything to try then we are going to give heart meds a go just to see if they do help and there is something going on that we can't pick up on.
I am wondering if it might be a lymphoma ?
I hope she is more comfortable now
