Re: [MVDincavaliers] Japanese Chin with MVD

Terri,
I've had the same experience! I've had 4 cavaliers on pimobendan and their quality of life improved so much !

I hope you guys don't mind.  I just joined your website and I don't
have a Cavalier.  I have an eight year old Chin girl with MVD and
you guys have helped me already.

About a month ago, she was on Enacard and Lasix, wouldn't eat - I
had to forcefeed her baby food - and I was at the point where I
thought this was the end... then I saw Darcy's website and read
about Pimobendan.... and a miracle happened.  My vet found a place
that would overnight the drug and within 2 weeks, she was eating
baby food on her own, and now she's eating regular food on her own,
and is eating like a horse! 

I know I can't get my hopes up and I really try not to .... I need
to go day by day, but even though she still coughs on exertion and
occasionally without, she has twice the energy she had and feels
much better, I can tell. So thanks to Darcy's owners she has much
improved quality of life... and me too!

Roxie is currently on Pimobendan twice a day alone.... I didn't
think the Enacard helped and of course, the Lasix is just for when
she has fluid buildup -- she had it in her lungs back in August....

Terri

Linda, were your cavaliers on pimobendan alone? How long did they live after they were put on the drug or are they still living? This is my first experience ...
