I am not ready to accept a 'terminal' diagnosis. My tip off was a cough that was consistent for a couple three days. This sweet baby was released in 2008/09 with 5 others but was th only one who tested positive for heart worm, she survived that treatment miraculously and has been in excellent health until this diagnosis.

I am a small breed animal rescue and focus on Maltese and puppy mill girls though I don't walk away from any pup. She dances and lights up as she always has at the prospect of food or a treat but then walks away rather than eating it. My pup who ate anything ever put before her now is hardly eating and in such a crazy pattern is completely impossible for me to predict what she will nibble on or not. Vet has not told me of the side effects of these drugs the way the web has. Looking for alternative treatments to her enecard (enalapril) vetmed and lasix.

My 7 yr old puppy mill survivor maltese pup was diagnosed with a #4 murmur about three weeks ago. Posted by Maltesemum (Norfolk, Virginia) on Treatment shouldn’t wait, especially if the heart murmur is audible without a stethoscope or can be felt by hand. Heart murmur in cats can stunt the growth of kittens.Ī heart murmur can be indicative of a number of illnesses: anemia, hyperthyroidism, heartworm, heart valve failure, heart inflammation, and the narrowing of veins and arteries.

Heart murmur in dogs can range from simple to grave, with symptoms like poor appetite, weight loss, breathing problems and are more serious when you pet has fainting spells and a weak pulse, and an underlying cause must be determined. Usually only audible by stethoscope, a heart murmur is usually due to conditions outside the heart like turbulent blood flow rather than the heart itself but can be caused by narrowing or leaking heart valves. Heart murmurs are abnormal sounds or vibrations heard in the heart and caused by blood flow and this is a disorder that affects both humans and pets alike. Home Remedies for Pets with Heart Murmurs
