I apologize, but the WGN podcast re: the new CVD research and the Darcy Fund is not up yet and I don't know yet when it will be. I'll post when the podcast is...
There will be a heart and eye health test clinic in Bangor, Maine this Saturday, November 18. Dr. Nancy Morris, board certified veterinary cardiologist will...
Hi... I joined this list some months ago to find out some additional information about MVD. I thought it was time to share some of my own experiences. I have a...
Hi there I think Vetmedin is a wonderful drug - I've recently lost Declan to MVD, but Vetmedin helped him a lot. Cailean was diagnosed with MVD this summer and...
I have to go along with these findings too. Having my boy collapse with
heart failure he was started on treatment (Fortekor and Frusemide). He was
having...
Would it be possible to share the address of the Canadian pharmacy? I'm having trouble with shipping from by the InhousePharmacyCom. Just wrote and begged...
Hi everyone, I can concur with those who have been using Vetmedin, I can honestly say it prolonged my Ellie's life for some six months or so. Ellie's energy...
I have had the same miraculous results as well. I've had 4 cavaliers on pimobendan too! I believe it not only improved my dogs lives, but has extended their...
Okay, I'm joining in on this conversation. I don't have a Cavalier, but I have a Japanese Chin who sounds a lot like Margaret's, same age, same time diagnosed ...
Hi Terri, I'm delighted to read that you have had success with your baby on
Pimobendan (Vetmedin). We always gave the tablet an hour before food, I guess there...
... The pharmacy we used was: http://www.77canadapharmacy.com/ We had no trouble receiving our package. It is actually shipped from a location in Washington...
... We try to adhere to the hour before eating routine but we're not exact about it. We have two others dogs and it's a little hard to delay everyone's feeding...
Thanks to all of you who wrote back. I will continue to wait the hour. My problem is I am the kind of person who gets up in the morning in a rush, and can ...
I don't wait an hour to give Pimobendan before my dogs eat? I give the meds right after they eat and they do just fine. I have been doing this for over 2...
I'm always worried and wait the hour (or 45 minutes minimum). Trouble is Cailean has 2 x vetmedin per day .... therefore 2 meals 1 hour after each, and he's...
My interpretation of the info below is that should aim for a pill every 12 hrs and an empty stomach. Will ask my vet if 4-5 hrs after a meal would be ...
Thanks for the shipping information. It's interesting to see all the different prices and companies..... I give Roxie her pill at 5:30 a.m., feed her at 6:30 ...
Hi Terri, I have heard stories of dogs living many years, never go on rx and do great. Other dogs go quickly. I thi9nk it depends on the dog. Can we ever...
Per my vet, Lee is doing ok, Gr 2-3, but she seems very depressed, her whole affect has changed, hangs out in a crate and sleeps... rather than sharing my...
Dear MB: Please forgive me if you have given more details about Lee in the past (like her age), but I would not assume that every abnormal behavior she...
Okay, I probably have the least knowledge of anyone on this site since I've just known about MVD for 3 months but that's EXACTLY what Roxie did to me....
Sandra, I am so happy for you that your Rosie is asymptomatic! That's awesome! Do you mind my telling you what I wish someone had told me to do when Roxie was...
Hi Rod, Lee is 7 1/2. Back in February when I was on vacation, a friend took Lee to the vets for a suspected urinary tract infection, in passing, the vet ...

Dear MB: I did not read in your post that a cardiologist prescribed the pimobendan. You mentioned "a significant murmur" but in an earlier post you wrote that...
... Oops, I meant: If Dr. Gompf was impressed with your vet's grading of ED's murmur, that is a high compliment. And one other thing: Just where does one who...
