Sudden development of congested heart failure
March 1, 2020
Our 10 year old Weimaraner developed a nasty cough. Took her to Vet ED and was diagnosed with severe Congested Heart Failure. This was caused by bad mitral valve, heart enlargement. The hospital reversed her acute illness and she now takes several meds daily, including Vetmedin. She is doing so much better, no cough, plenty of energy, tolerating med well.
Pros
- Specific heart med for dogs. Well tolerated and is helping.
Cons
- Need to be responsible and order it, cost. Give it as ordered. Some people wouldn?t be able to do this.
