My dog was diagnosed with mitral valve disease at around age 5. He was fine until this Febrary when his murmur was up to a III-IV and they decided to put him on some medication (benazepril) in a tiny dose (he is 10 lbs and takes 1.25mg once a day. He now has moderate heart enlargement and severe chamber (atrial) enlargement. He's now banned from anesthesia because it could throw him into congestive heart failure. He is going to be 15 in August. His heart disease does not appear to bother him as much as it does me. I hope with good care your baby will live as long as Barney!
