Here's what you should know:
* Fluid around the heart is a symptom, not a diagnosis. It can be caused by various underlying issues, including heart failure, infections, and even cancer.
* It's important to see a veterinarian immediately. They can diagnose the underlying cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.
* Delaying treatment can be dangerous. Fluid buildup around the heart can put pressure on the organ and affect its function, leading to serious complications.
Please contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal clinic immediately for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
