Yes...just heard that recently. Raisins, too! We had a little toddler visit last week and she tried to give Trina one of her grapes...I freaked out! I...
Don't feed them grapes. Lots of other good stuff. Thank you all so much for your replies. The general consensus is the same, less food, more exercise, and...

My dog is 13 and we have been following his MVD for a number of years. Last Saturday we noticed he wasn't eating well and his abdomen was distended. Our...
Ours has the cough, but it has been better lately. Trina has had the same symptoms as yours...it is usually fluid retention due to the MVD. Her meds really...
Thank you so much for responding. He is not taking any currently because he had no symptoms until recently. Our usual vet felt this was not due to MVD so...
... The distension could very well be ascites due to a heart issue. The cardiac cough usually is due to the enlarged heart impacting the breathing passage. It...
Funny as it seems I actually am hoping for a heart issue since the prognosis for the vets other diagnosis is even more gloom and doom. Thanks so much for the...
The first we knew was our vet noticing the heart murmur during a routine visit. She had no symptoms at that time. Saw a cardiologist and a few years later,...

Hi laura I am curious what has been done so far on your dog? I am a little perplexed how a possible fluid buildup due to heart could not be detected as I would...
Do you have a cardiologist already? I couldn't quite tell. If not, I would recommend a qualified cardiologist's care if one is available to you. My 8.5 year...
They did do an xray and the radiologist felt that heart was possible although likely not the issue. They also did blood work and analysis on the fluid. All...

This may be a shocking question! But, has anyone in this group ever considered open heart surgery to replace the Mitral Valve? I keep reading about this...
Hi Sally, I did look into the surgery about 2 yrs ago, thinking my dog was still very healthy and strong, this would be the time to do it.. At that time,...
CSU only does one or two heart surgeries a year now. An article about one Dr. Orton did earlier this year for Sara Gruen's dog earlier this year is at this...
Thank you very much, Karla, for the informative response. I have been wondering about this for so long. It does not sound like a good alternative, all things...
Thanks, Carolyn - reading that article makes me want to call Dr. Orton right now! But he is only doing 1-2 surgeries of this nature a year now, apparently, so...
just wanted to update everyone. thank you so much for the information. unfortunately we got bad news. ironically after being tracked for MVD for 5 years his...
Laura, Sorry to hear this news. Do you know if the tumor is benign? Once you know that you will have a better idea of your options. Let's hope for the best....
unfortunately none of the vets are very optimistic. There seem to be some strange growths on his intestines as well so they believe the cancer is likely...
I am so sorry to hear that, Laura. Perhaps it can be safely removed. We will be thinking of you. Sally and Sammy ... From: "Laura" <laura_griffith@...> ...
