What heart pills has the vet put Tye on?
My little girl, Tansy, was diagnosed with heart failure two years ago. The vet told me to think of the time she had left to be counted in weeks rather than months, so I was devastated, she was 10 years old....young to me as all my other breed terriers had lived to be over 17.
The vet put her on Vetmedin capsules & diuretics(Frusemide) & began to give her monthly check ups. By the fourth month her heart was stronger, so she switched to check ups every two months. After a year, at her check up, the vet was listening to her heart & said that if he hadn't known about her condition, just listening to her heart he would never think there was a problem, it had improved so much. She now just sees him every six months, in between I just collect the pills. Last week was her check & there was no change, still going strong.
The difference in her on these pills has been amazing. Two years ago she could only walk for ten minutes before gasping for breath. Now she's back to playing like a puppy.
So please don't give up hope. I would never have dared to hope I would still have her with me now, let alone see how improved her condition is. |
