Heart disease can be subtle, especially in its early stages. Watch for these symptoms:
Rapid or labored breathing
Persistent coughing
Loss of appetite
Lethargy or fatigue
Weakness or difficulty exercising
If your pet exhibits any of these signs, especially if they are a senior or a breed predisposed to heart issues, contact us promptly. Early intervention is crucial for effective management.
We utilize a combination of diagnostic tests to assess your pet’s heart health:
Electrocardiogram (ECG): Measures electrical activity to detect arrhythmias.
Radiographs (X-rays): Visualizes heart size and lung condition.
Ultrasound (Echocardiogram): Provides detailed images of heart structures and function.
These tools allow us to develop a tailored treatment plan to manage your pet’s condition effectively.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include:
Medications: To manage blood pressure, heart rate, and fluid balance.
Lifestyle Modifications: Dietary changes and exercise adjustments.
Monitoring: Regular check-ups to assess treatment efficacy and adjust as needed.
Our team will work closely with you to ensure the best care for your pet.
