Ummm, giving dexmethazone and vaccinations at the same time is a big red flag. Very old school. There is always a risk with helathy pets going under anesthesia, and an even bigger one if the pet is sick. Good luck, she's got a long road ahead of her. I hope the ultrasound gives you answers.

Enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) is not a disease but a sign of an underlying problem. It can have many causes, including:
High blood pressure
Heart valve disorders
Weakness of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy)
Severe anemia
Thyroid disorders
Excessive iron in the body (hemochromatosis)
Abnormal protein buildup in an organ (amyloidosis)
In some people, an enlarged heart causes no signs or symptoms. Others may experience:
Breathing difficulties
Shortness of breath
Dizziness
Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
Swelling (edema)
Treatment is directed at the underlying cause of enlarged heart.

cardiomegally = enlarged heart. It can be due to high blood pressure. See what the doctor has to say, take medications.
