I am new to this site: I posted my question this morning and accepted / paid on the answer--I guess I was suppose to wait so I could get more answers? Anyway, listd under "Heart Disease in my 4 yr. old Papillon" is the question, too long to retype, but I am relisting it so I can wait for more opinions on his diagnosis. Specifically, should I risk the steroid use with his enlarged heart being the issue? I am leaning toward letting nature take its course since it looks like my paps life is going to be ending quickly? I want to make the correct decision for him, it is just so hard to seperate your emotions from your head.... Thanks for any help. Bobbi
