no he does not have any sort of cough and hes breathing i would say a tight and heavy if thats any help thanks for your reply.

ok its doesnt sound like it is what i thought it may be,

the symptoms all sounded the same as i had in my westie,
although he also he a slight cough which got worse as time when on,
it turned out he had Emphysema ,

i hope the vets get to the bottom of whatever it is and you get him sorted out, please keep us updated

Could he be in heart failure?
Did your vets check his heart. Did he get a chest xray?
Where do you think the pain is, could it be his back?
Time to go back to the vet I would say.

I would try a different vet. Just for that second opinion. Every vet can be different, some with more experience than others.

That is a good idea, or ask for him to be seen by a specialist the sooner the better I think.
