I last wrote sometime Feb last, just after starting Pimobendin. My little girl responded very well to it. She continued to accumulate fluid, having some...
Anyone own a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and want to socialize him or her with others in the Atlanta, Georgia area? If so, please check out our Cavalier...
I have a 7 month old tri-color Cavalier, Shiloh. he is the sweetest puppy I have ever had. He is totally attached to me. During the day he hardly ever naps...
I wish yo the best with Katy. I wondered if you could answer a couple questions for me. I have a 7 month old male, Shiloh. Did the bet give you any idea of...
... Dear Dee: Welcome to the list. The progression of mitral valve disease can be rapid or slow. Some Cavaliers develop a mild murmur without any more...
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). ...
what an inspiring tale. I keep thinking Cailean is near the end. He's been on meds for his MVD for 11 months now :( He's having a very rough time at the...
Dear Karen: I do not believe that it is a requirement of MVD that it must progress from a grade 2 to a higher grade within four years. We have an eleven year...
Karen, I don't know about in dogs, but I have MVD and I go to a cardiologist every year and it has never progressed and I am asymptomatic. My dog, Roxie,...
Hi I have not been on here for a while because we've been on a rollercoaster with our Megan (8yo Black & Tan). In November last year she was given the all...
... That sounds like good advice. Some people get strollers designed for dogs to take the old ones out with them on walks. ... Our Pepe has been on it for...
I'm posting this for Jackie Spielman. Her Kingston was diagnosed in January 06 and passed away last week, at age 7. Too soon. Jackie has a supply of...
Hi Mikey, this collapsing happened to my Ellie on a couple of occasions. She too loved her walks but in the latter stages of her MVD could not manage more than...
Helen, please tell Jackie I'm so sorry for her loss. It is very generous of her to give away the meds. I don't have any need since we use the 1.25 but it's ...
I am so so sorry to hear about Kingston another one gone too soon. Run free at the Bridge Kingston. Thank you Jackie for thinking about others and donating...
Hi group I am sorry I have not been able to give the group my full attention as I have had some human problems in my life. However I have read the posts and am...
Hi all As I mentioned in an earlier post our Megan was near the end last Saturday after she collapsed, but the vet was a bit more optimistic and upped her...
Hi Mikey I had the same thing happen with my almost 16 yr old ... although hers was complicated by mammary tumors that we could not remove. I kept her on a low...
omg! I thought it was just my imagination. Cailean's in late stages MVD. He takes the following per day: 2 x Vetmedin 2 x Corventyl 1 x Fortekor 2 x Frusemide...
Hi, Our little Cavalier, sadly has congestive heart failure also. Jessie has just turned 10 and due to worsening conditions when we discovered her CHF, she...
Hiya I do know it's common, although it's only happened to us with Cailean once. I don't know if it means it's near the end or not, I'm afraid. I worry so much...
Thanks for replying Fran. We have the same problem in the car. She gets so excited! If we see another dog outside we have to try and turn her away or cover her...
Just thinking, if you're changing vet, it may be worthwhile asking them about Corventyl too (although I don't know if that's what it's called in Australia). ...
