Hi Terri I'm presuming you mean MVD in Japanese Chins? if so, this link is quite interesting... http://www.japanesechinonline.org/health/endocardiosis.php ...
Leanne Bertani, who wrote the article about MVD on the Japanese Chin website, is a medical doctor from Ohio who has bred both Cavaliers and Japanese Chins, and...
I'm sure you are right. Unfortunately, Roxie was one of those Chin who did get diagnosed with a heart murmur at a young age. But thanks to so many of your ...
Thanks for all your information. My chin is only 4 and was just diagnosed with mvd. I have ordered some vitamins and supplements for him, much the same as a...
Hi everybody, I hope this e-mail finds you all well and your animals doing fine as well..... As some of you will remember, I have a nine year-old, soon-to-be...
I am so sorry to hear your Chin is doing worse, but glad she has at least been feeling well. I do not have any medical advice as my dog was just recently...
Lucy has been like that for some time ... she's been in CHF for over a year. Unless it's sudden, I don't expect the end soon, her health seems to be stable (I...
Hi Terri so sorry to hear that you feel Roxie has taken a turn for the worse. I too found the heartbeat thumping in Ellie's chest heartbreaking but you say...
Hi, Sorry to hear about Roxie coughing more.Is it chf or heart enlargement pressing on the trachea?At end stage chf keeping the pups comfortable and happy is...
Thank you, for answering Lynn. Actually, this whole downward spiral started three weeks ago and I'd already taken Roxie to the vet and consulted several ...
Thank you so much, Anita, for your sweet message. I did call the vet as you'll read in an earlier post. As far as raising her dishes, I hadn't thought of ...
Elaine, last night it was really bad, hearing Roxie's heart when she was just sitting next to me, but that had never happened before. Lately, I can hear her ...
Thanks, Ronae. I hope you have many more years left with yours... ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ ...
Has anyone heard anything about exercie and cavaliers ? Is it helpful, harmful? Does age make a differnce? I have a CKC who just turned 1. I'm trying to get...
Dee, this is just my thoughts. I let my dog do what she wants to do when she wants to do it. She usually dictates what she's able to do. But on the occasion...
I have a 4 year old Chin with MVD. I let him set the pace and just watch him to make sure he does not overtire himself. I think some exercise is good so they...
Hi Dee Exercise is important for all kinds of reasons, but especially for heart health and weight maintenance. Unless your pup has been diagnosed with...
Hi Terri I've been able to hear Lucy's like that for some time. A faint swooshing noise that you can hear from a few feet away if it's quiet. I remember...
Well, Elaine, your post came at the BEST moment! Unfortunately, I don't have insurance but that's okay. I have a WONDERFUL vet also (thank goodness!) and we ...
Well, I wrote you guys a few weeks ago asking about how you know when the end is nearing. Fortunately, my vet did work out the correct combination of drugs to...
In my opinion I can't see where Tapioca would be dangerous. My reaction would be the calories and gaining weight. That is just what you want. Like you said...
I was curious so I did a search, I found a couple interesting things "Nature's Variety has a unique dry diet containing no grains and no potatoes as...
Thanks, Diane; I think I'm going to go ahead with it. I've tried peanut butter; unfortunately, Roxie just LOVES sweets. I wish you could have seen how she ...
I did; couldn't find much. I will try and see if she likes the baby food version but I think I'm going ahead with the pudding and/or vanilla ice cream. She ...
Unfortunately dairy products are not good for dogs. I would skip the ice cream if I were you. My dogs love bananas. The two I have now and the one I had...
Hi Terri, in the absence of appetite, I would personally give Roxie whatever she will eat and enjoy! I personally feel when you get them to this stage when...
Terri, I'm glad your vet has managed to work things out to give you a bit longer together but I'm sorry to hear that her appetite isn't what it was :(. I...
