I'm so glad you got help for Kissy and she is doing better. I hope she continues to improve.

I have a dog that was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, as she had been coughing, but she really has a severely prolapsed valve and her right atrium is so enlarged, it is pressing on her throat. She has been on vetmedin for over a year. She saw my regular vet a few months ago, and I was told to keep doing what I had been doing, give her the vetmedin. I really wondered if it was enough, so I took her to the specialist who treated one of my dogs for lymphoma.

Besides the fact that Opal has a mass in her chest which her heart prohibits surgery for, she is also on enalipril and lasix in addition to the vetmedin, and she is doing much better. Since your vet is treating Kissy so differently, does she have something wrong besides congestive heart failure?
