I am so sorry to hear about your Sam. Reading your post it is very obvious how much he was loved and treasured . . . and that is the very best life a dog can...
Well, it was just a month ago that I reported on Gizmo's improvement after being on Vetmedin for a month. Now we are a month further along and have had to...
Hi Margaret! I think it was a good idea to increase Gizmo's VetMedin dosage. Roxie weighs 9 pounds and she takes 1.25 mg 2x a day and is doing well - eating...
... Terri.... Thanks for asking. His coughing does seem better but he would only eat a small amount of his food this morning. I've been trying to give him the...
It drives me crazy when Roxie won't eat! She's so little anyway that she can't afford to lose anymore. For awhile R was eating cat food when she wouldnt eat ...
Three years ago the ACKCSC's BOD & the ACKCSC Charitable Trust's Trustees decided to begin an indepth DNA study on MVD. Our choice for that study was...
Hi... I'll try to make this short. Gizmo is will be 10 at the end of January. His mumur is as high as it's going to get (5/6???) He's on lasix, vetmedin,...
Dear Margaret: It sounds like Gizmo may be experiencing another side effect of congestive heart failure. It is called progressive cardiac cachexia, and it's...
Dear Margaret, I'm so sorry you are having problems getting Gizmo to eat. I can remember my lowest point when Roxie wouldn't eat. It was a Sunday afternoon...
Margaret, I had the same situation with Toby who died 2 years today! I had to finger feed baby food (then baby food with dried dog food) 2x day to Toby....
Thanks to all of you who responded so quickly. I stopped on my way home from work and got some cat food and some baby food. Had good success with the baby food...
Hi Margaret, I would suggest trying to tempt him to eat and as a suggestion have you tried raising the feeding bowl so he does not have to bend his neck to...
I so feel for you going through this having lost my little Bailey this past summer. It was interesting because he never lost his appetite, and ate right up to...
Hi Melanie! I'm just curious about Bailey. When you say he never lost his appetite right up until he died, how did you know he was dying or did you? I'm just...
Hi everyone, that's why I suggested checking with the vet/cardiologist about the medication. Like us we all are different, some things are ok for some and not...
... Anita.... I had started doing the raised food dish about a week ago because it seemed logical that this might help. It did for a day or so. I also...
Melanie, Thanks for the advice. It WAS hard to hear of Bailey's last day and I AM guilty of being very watchful for signs of "the end". Every time she looks ...
I used Nutrical too, mixed with baby food, I don't think Toby noticed. I've also been feeding my others cream cheese (when I give them there pills). They...
Hi there, I'm Paula, and I'm new here. I have a 14 year old cav called Charlie (who is very lovely). He has had a murmur for several years now, and his heart...
Paula, Where are you located? I've had an xray and color doppler done on one of my dogs and neither took very long at all and neither required sedation. And...
Hi Paula and welcome. I personally would not think that he needs to stay all day for an x-ray and eeg. These can usually be done within the hour and when I had...
Thanks for your replies. The vet said that sedation wasn't always necessary, but he'll need to be really still and being sedated is sometimes better for them...
Hi Paula, I'm in the UK too and we've had 2 x-rays and eegs. On both occasions we left her with the cardiologist (just for a couple of hours). The first time...

Dear David: As terribly difficult as it has been for you and your wife to experience the loss of two Cavaliers to MVD in so short a time, your love for them...
