Frequently asked questions
- Why might my pet need to see a board-certified veterinary cardiologist?
- A board-certified veterinary cardiologist has four additional years of advanced training after veterinary school and passes two consecutive years of testing to demonstrate advanced expertise in cardiology. Seeing a specialist helps determine the severity and treatment options for pets with heart disease.
- What happens during a cardiology examination at CVCA?
- A full cardiology examination includes assessing the pet's medical history, performing a physical examination with auscultation and blood pressure, and conducting a full echocardiogram. The board-certified cardiologist will explain findings during and after the echocardiogram and develop a detailed report with diagnostics and a treatment plan.
- What are some common signs of heart disease in dogs and cats?
- Dogs with heart disease may cough, have trouble breathing, faint, show weakness, exercise intolerance, or abdominal distension. Cats might hide more, be lethargic, have an increased respiratory rate and effort, faint, or experience sudden onset of painful forelimb lameness or hind limb paralysis.
