My 6 year old corn, Mr.Biggles, has had swelling around his throat for nearly 6 months now. I originally took him to my vet and although he had never seen it in a corn, he had seen something like it in breeds used to more tropical weather and had turned out to be temperature issues. So I very carefully monitered his heating for a few months and if anything it got worse. So I took him back yesterday and we found more swelling about a few inches from his head (apparently where his heart is?). The doctor kept referring it to edema and fluid build up. Said Biggles could have heart issues (possibly a mass) thats affecting his circulation and causing the swelling. So we started him on diruetics for a month to see if it helps anything.
My question is, has anyone else experience ANYTHING like this before?
Any imput is appreciated!!
