PeeWee was referred to our cardiologist for evaluation of labored breathing and a heart murmur. An echocardiogram found that he had Mitral valve degeneration, the most common acquired heart disease in small breed dogs which typically progresses slowly over time. In PeeWee’s case, this also resulted in Congestive Heart Failure. He was hospitalized overnight for treatment and monitoring, his breathing normalized, and he was able to go home the next afternoon. PeeWee also became a participant in our diuretic clinical study, so we have been able to see him frequently for check-ups! This handsome boy has come so far in the last few weeks and it is such a pleasure to see him and his owners every time, so we have named him the February Patient of the Month.

We love it when recheck visits go well! Haus is improving wonderfully and had a great visit with our cardiologist today ending in lots of treats and slobbery kisses.

We had an awesome group of 8 Cavaliers come in today for Echocardiogram rechecks!
