    • The heart can't pump the blood around fast enough any longer and that means that fluid will pool in his lungs because the kidneys (that need a good pressure and fast flow) have lost much of their ability to filter out the excess fluids and salts. Kidneys, unlike the Liver, cannot be rapiared.Your vet will push the kidneys just as far as they are able to - it is quite a difficult balancing act.Other causes of fluid in the chest include lung infections, bleeding, and also bleeding and seepage of lymph fluid into the body cavity from tumour tissues.
