JULY MONTHLY SPECIAL:
HEALTHY HEART MONTH
Quite a few dogs will develop a heart murmur by mid-life as a result of a weak heart valve that causes the heart to work harder to pump blood to all parts of the body. A pet with a heart murmur can develop congestive heart failure if not evaulated by diagnostic procedures and no medicines are prescribed.
Some dogs & cats have heart disease but no audible heart murmur due to abnormalities of their heart chambers or muscles or due to an arrhythmia which may cause the pet to cough, breathe harder than normal or have trouble exercising.
Some pets are born with a congenital heart defect, some of which can reduce the pet's lifespan if not correctly diagnosed and treated.
Coughing can be a sign of heart failure but can be caused by numerous non-cardiac conditions such as infectious bronchitis, collapsing trachea, asthma, brachycephalic airway syndrome, chronic bronchitis, neoplasia or polyps, pneumonia, laryngeal stenosis, paralysis or edema, tracheal foreign body, hypoplastic trachea, lung lobe torsion, thromboembolism, toxin/smoke inhalation, allergies and anaphylaxis, drowning, emphysema, parasites in lungs, myasthenia gravis, chest trauma, mediastinal mass, megasophagus, pulmonary hypertension, electrocution, pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia. Diagnostic testing and chest X-Rays are important in diagnosing the cause of your pet's cough to determine optimum treatment.
