Vetmedin (Pimobendan) is in a class of heart treatments named "inodilators" used in the management of certain types of congestive heart failure in dogs. These medications increase the heart muscle's ability to pump blood. Vetmedin increases the ability of the heart muscle to contract and also open up the blood vessels taking blood to and away from the heart. This reduces the heart's workload as it pumps blood throughout the dog's body. Specifically used for the management of the signs of mild, moderate, or severe congestive heart failure in dogs. The safety of pimobendan has not been evaluated in dogs younger than 6 months of age.

can i crush vetmedin and mix it with a small amount of food
What's the lowest weight a dog can be on the 1.25 mg of vetmedin. At what weight would the dosage have to be lowered? My dog is 10 pounds and dropping due to pancreatitis most likely but is still on the 1.25 mg of vetmedin.
Can Vetmedin (pimobendan) capsules be opened and sprinkled into food? The capsules are quite large for my dog to swallow and I can't find a monograph indicating whether the capsule is immediate release or sustained/extended release.

My 9 year old Rottweiler has congestive heart failure diagnosed 2 year ago he ales 3 vetmedin capusules twice daily 2 lanoxin twice daily 3 frusecare twice daily and 1 diltiazem twice daily but still pants rapidly all the time do you think 3 vetmedin are too strong for him he is 58 kilos
My cat is currently taking Vetmedin (twice daily), Furosemide, Enalapril and Clopidogrel for a recent HCM diagnosis. The insert included in the Vetmedin box states it's to be given on an empty stomach 1 hr before food but it seems like the pill upsets his stomach without food. Is it okay to give a small amount of food with the Vetmedin 1.25mg dose? Or am I able to avoid waiting the full hour and feed him his meal sooner? He does take his other medication with food following the Vetmedin dose.
