Preeto should be examined by your veterinarian. Chest x-rays should be done to assess his heart and lungs. A heartworm test should be done to rule out heartworm disease. It is never recommended to medicate a pet without the advice of a veterinarian. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistant bacteria and may complicate the underlying condition.
