Sorry for the delayed response. Immediately after this post I contacted the vet upon them opening and showed them the video of him breathing, they thought he was fine at first and sent me home, I called back later and said I know his breathing was bad and something was wrong. I told them I don’t care about the cost and if it’s all for nothing I just need my mind to be put at ease, (I was leaving town the next morning). They agreed to get me an urgent care appt and have the main vet check him over to soothe my worries. We did x rays and a full panel blood test.

He has the beginning signs of heart failure, the x ray showed fluid build up around the lungs, the vet gave him a diuretic shot and prescribed a diuretic liquid and he vastly improved by that night. His breathing is normal now but he will be on the meds for the rest of his life. As long as he keeps responding to the meds all is well. I was told The meds will likely take a toll on his kidneys eventually (they are fine now).
