Huh, ok I will definitely have to keep an eye on that too then. Cause the vet said he heard nothing wrong with his chest and heart he said all was fine. Thanks everyone for the advice we'll try to keep him calm and warm while he's recuperating. Right now the weather is getting cold at nights so I may just take him for a quick walk outside, cover him up while sleeping and bringing him in thanx. The temps are like in the 50s here at night.
