My 11 1/2-year-old Maltese, who has a grade 6 heart murmur, was recently diagnosed with either cancer or fungal pneumonia based on a chest X-ray. We have started medication for pneumonia. Is there any non-invasive method to confirm the diagnosis, especially considering the risks of anesthesia due to the heart murmur?

A 16-year-old Bichon named BJ was diagnosed with pancreatitis and an enlarged liver. Despite being on anti-vomiting, antibiotic, and pain medications since Friday, BJ cannot stand, is very weak, and cries/moans all day. He has not eaten since early Friday morning and stopped drinking water about 12-13 hours ago. What should be done for BJ, and is it time to consider euthanasia?
