Fluid around the heart is abnormal and can cause numerous problems. Owners often notice their dogs are not as active, get tired more easily and have a harder time adapting to heat. Depending upon the type of fluid, treatment can be pharmaceutical (such as antibiotics for infection), medical (such as pericaridocentesis to draw off the fluid) or surgical (such as removing a portion of the pericardial sac).
It is important to have a full diagnostic work-up done on dogs with fluid around their hearts, as the cause of the fluid often determines the dog's prognosis.

Is the heart rate of a dog supposed to be consistent?
Not necessarily. The heart rate of a dog can be influenced by a variety of factors, including stress, excitement and exercise. But the heart beat of a dog should not "jump". If a dog's heart beat is maintaining a consistent rhythm of around 100 bpm, and then suddenly "jumps" followed by returning to normal, it could be a heart murmur. They are generally harmless, but can become quite severe. Call your veterinarian and ask him/her to ask listen to your dog's heart.

Why does my dog slide back on hardwood floor when he sits down and my other dog doesn't?
Dogs have a little sack under the tail that fills with fluid and to release this fluid a dog will slide along the floor or on the rug. You can help your dog by taking it to a vet to squeeze the fluid out or do it yourself. The dog will also lick up the fluid and often throw up a foamy fluid soon after. It is a fable that worms cause this to happen.
