If my wife and I decided on our own to give pimobendan to our Cavalier most severely affected with MVD, he probably would be dead from that medication....
Rod, I didn't think your comments were particularly meant for me. I guess I thought your point was to trust your doctor and not try to research on your own,...

Hi everyone Having taken my seven year old cavalier, Katy, to the vet last week we got the news I had been hoping not to hear just yet - she has a slight...
My vet says the same thing. However, for cav's that you think the murmur may progress at a quicken pace; my experience-the earlier you start them on meds...
Our preference -- and that of our cardiologist -- is to not start on ACE inhibitors unless and until the dog shows symptoms such as the tell-tale cough,...
Late last summer when I had to put down my dear little Queenie because of MVD, you were all so supportive. Now I have another question which fortunately isn't...

It has always been my understanding that MVD affects every dog differently and is unpredictable in it's course. I have a girl who was diagnosed at age 2...
... So far, we have just one with MVD. Pepe was clear at 7 years, 3 months by a cardiologist at a health clinic. Four months later, he had a grade 3 or 4...
Wow! Carolyn, I LOVED hearing that story! Roxie was diagnosed last August and our vet also said about a year (which means the end is about two months away). ...
