Thanks all for your replies. I will get the vet to check her heart again for sure, and will perhaps get the other vet in the practice to examine her for a second opinion. Mrsgreenjeens, that's reassuring, thanks! Perhaps I am projecting my own feelings of worry onto the situation, and if I...

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this. It's never easy, but see what the vet says in terms of making him comfortable. They are such wonderful companions aren't they! Sending hugs...
