Hello all,
has anyone had a dog diagnosed with CHF/chronic valvular disease? My
own little five pounds of perfect has been diagnosed as of last week
and is now on four meds, including enalapril, aldactone, pimobendan,
and of course, the ever popular lasix. The heart specialist says she
may have a year to a year and a half. It's heart breaking and surreal
all at once. I have seen her echo and her heart valve problem but at
the same time I take her out and she loves, loves, loves to run and
jump and leap around like her heart is fine.On the meds she has
virtually no cough at all, ever, (unless her archenemy appears in the
yard and she gets on rant and gulps too much water in the middle of
her rant after drying out her throat barking) and it makes me wonder
if anyone else has had experience with this that maybe they could
share with me?
Thanks in advance.
