Well Torque hasent been feeling well for a couple of days and last night he seemed to get worse. He was breathing heavy and seemed to be shivering. This morning he wouldnt eat and was still acting the same so i brought him to the vet. She ran labs and said everything seemed normal on his labs so we then did xrays and saw he had fluid around his lungs. Our next option was to aspirate the fluid to see what we could find and it turned out to be blood. She says it could be a lung contorsion?!?! but cant find anything else. She got a hold of the surgeon and said theat they would see him on monday and go from there. What could this be??? Im so heartbroken over this, hes only 2yrs old. SHe asked if there was any trauma recently and theres nothing i could think of. She asked about poisening and i tiold her that i doubt it as my neighbor has a dog and my other neihgbor is never home. Im so confused. We decided to take him home till monday instead of taking him to the ER Vet to be monitored. As soon as i see the breathing get worse or the color leave him i will bring him right away but i cant imagine leaving him there all stressed out. Im so confused. Any one have any ideas or advice. Please help.

I'll be praying for your Torque and hoping they find out what the problem is.
Watch his gums and the inside of his ears. If they start losing their pink color (becoming grey colored or almost white), you need to get him to the vet ASAP.
