Hello, My pup was recently diagnosed with severe SAS and prescribed Sotalol. On the other hand I was reading about other types of supplements for heart conditions, specifically pet wellbeing “young at heart” that I am interested in trying but is not
The biggest issue with herbal medications (which is what this supplement is) is a lack of controlled studies to prove that they work. Additionally, just like a man made medication, an herbal medication can also have side effects. Having said all of that, the specific product you refer to does contain Hawthorn which does have effects similar to sotolol. I don't know that its "better," or "safer" than sotolol because we just don't have the data to show that, whereas sotolol has been studied extensively regarding dosage, safety, efficacy, etc. In short, its reasonable to try this herbal medication but I would strongly advise that you do it under the care of a veterinarian who has been trained in herbal medicine. Here is a link to find a a veterinarian who has studied herbal remedies: https://www.vbma.org/us-members.html Keep in mind that SAS is a mechanical defect, and so no medication will "fix" it.. rather the goal of medical management is to minimize the problems that the h

My dog has tachycardia but I know which type of tachycardia. The symptoms are weaknesses and fainting( the vet explained he faints because his brain isn’t oxygenated enough) would that be Ventricular fibrillation (VF) or Ventricular Tachycardia? Also
Ventricular fibrillation is the heart issue that you see people on tv getting shocked to try to correct. If not corrected, it results in death within minutes. Ventricular tachycardia and atrial tachycardia are very serious problems. In some dogs it is only transient (meaning only lasting for a few seconds) or it can be chronic. If chronic, it often needs medications to convert back to a normal rhythm or at least decrease the heartrate. In humans, both of these conditions are treated with beta blockers to decrease the heartrate or in the hospital for IV medications and symptomatic treatment. Heart disease that causes these conditions has a poor prognosis for good quality of life for an extended period. There is the possibility that the heart rate is simply high and without an actual arrhythmia. This is common in dogs with heart failure that do not have enough function to pump blood throughout the body. I would need to see the ECG to tell. Through the rest of the weekend, try to limit

Diagnosed bronchitis, HCM (LA sev. dilated), and CHF via X-ray and echo. 2nd set X-rays 3 days later showed improvement in lungs. Discharged on clopidogrel, clavamox, lasix, fluticasone. Resp.rate ~ 25. Drinking, eating small amounts, urinating. F/U
It appears that nebivolol is being researched for many different possible uses in many lab animal species, but I could not find any information on its use in cats. From the information I could find, most vets have mixed feelings on using atenolol in cats with HCM. There does seem to be a consensus among specialists that it could help in cats with HCM that have Systolic Anterior Motion (SAM) of the mitral valve (seen on echo), but there are no studies showing a positive benefit.

My cavalier weighing 9 kg has CHF. She is on 2.5mg vetmedin twice a day, 20mg furomicide twice a day & Spironolactone 25mg once a day. This evening I gave her Spironolactone 50mg by accident. This was with her usual vetmedin 2.5mg, 20mg furomicide &
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! She is most likely going to be ok. However, it is very important that you let her veterinarian know since they prescribed the medications so that they can take note of this for the future but also so that they can tell you if based on her medical history, they would like you to make any adjustments. Good luck and have a great day!

My 21 lb dog was prescribed enrofloxacin. 68mg once every 12 hours. Is that the correct dosage? Its giving her diarrhea. She was also prescribed 2.5 mg of terbutaline and her heart is beating really hard and fast.
It’s a little high, but still within the safe and therapeutic range for the medication. A common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes a bland diet and probiotics will help. Elevated heart rate is common with terbutaline. I would call your vet or have Siya examined by an emergency vet to determine if the medication(s) should be stopped in light of her side effects.
