Dog Heart Attack Symptoms

Ofttimes present when people recite me they are feat a dog, they e'er get the facts from me which it isn't always vindicatory fun nowadays. It's job, it's responsibleness, and it's not meet about the proprietor. The pet comes eldest should you determine need on the responsibleness. The rewards are so designer it and I would never line the vet bills, the having to originate domicile past, arranging for a dog stargazer, and the messes. ------------ & #10;cruz Cat Bath Cat Bath

My Golden Retriever male ( JUST TURNED 1 YR.IN NOV.)Was diagnosed as having a Heart murmur and I have been told by the Insurance Co. that this isn't coverable as they claim it was pre-existing. Vet says it is a birth defect and could be surgically corrected.Cost are $6,ooo for everything. Of which I dont have. I was told there is medications I can give him to help him sustain a certain "Quality of Life" until his death which is surely to come sooner then later. Yet I have not been able to ghive him these meds as I dontknow what they are waiting for? I am trying to come up with the money to have the operation done but in the meantime I would like to give him whatever I can to make things easier on him. He is such a good dog and a loyal, loving member of the family any suggestions ? Jim in Las Vegas Nevada

Call the Vet. Say, "I am trying to raise the money for surgery but in the mean time I would like to give my dog the medication you spoke of". simple questions get simple answers.

Vets are all crooks that sell you crap that a dog doesn't need. This is an animal we're talking about. Give Rover plenty of love, good food, water and a warm nice place to sleep. Save the money for a vacation after he passes to heal your heart. Buy another dog and start over. The Vet wants your $6,000 so he can drive a Mercedes, own a Horse farm and buy his wife minks and diamonds. A new dog costs $300? Move on and tell the Vet to get rich off of someone else.

I had a 10 year almost 11 year old cocker spaniel/lasa opso mix who a week ago was diagnosed with a heard murmur. Things were fine until about 3 or 4 days later when things went down hill. He had raspy breathing and he wouldn't move around as much, also a loss of appetite. Sometime during the night early morning before he was scheduled for an ultrasound he must have fainted in the kitchen. My brother found him with a pool of blood around him. He was still breathing but it was really scary. So later that morning around 9:00 we brought him to the vets, he started with the raspy breathing again. The vet said that she was worried because he was trying to catch his breath and his gums and inside his ears were a pale white. Once the ulatrasound was done and she gave him one of three types of heart meds that he was going to be on, she said his heart looked big. (i guess bigger then it was a week ago) She brought him outside to use the bathroom and collapsed on the pavement. Blood was coming from his mouth and nose, She, the other vet, and cartiologist tried to recesitate him but they couldn't. How is it possible for a dog to have a heart murmur one day and a week later have his heart in complete failure? The sad part is that just a year ago i had lost my 3 year old golden retriever mix to cancer just a few weeks shy of her 4th b-day. His b-day is just 18 days away. Now i'm worried about my 1 year old aussie. She has always been around him since she was a puppy but now she's all by herself. She doesn't have a best pal anymore to play with and i'm just worried about her.

Pookie your pet will greive in it's own way but will be ok. I just lost my 17 year old cat and I had him his whole life. I think about him everyday and we have a cat almost a year old. My cat Simba raised this cat as his own. Yep his own. This was so painful and my cat grieved too but now he is raising kittens of his own that is not his. Moma cat brought them to him and left. He brings them food and grooms and cuddles with them and even moves them to safety when he thinks they need to move areas. Simba would be proud. But your aussie will be just fine. Sorry about your lose it really hurts.

Hi ALl, As the above advice said, I had no warning. Today my miniature schnauzer, Hayley was walking with us around the block when she collapsed. I picked her up and she flailed her legs for a few seconds, made some loud yelps and that was it. We miss her so much. Today was her 12th birthday. She had a heart murmur and somewhat enlarged heart, but no symptoms like heavy breathing or appetite loss. She ate lunch as usual and went outside in the yard just before. The lesson is to enjoy every minute. You never know when it will be their, or our last. God bless all the wonderful dogs and cats who keep us company :)

I have a four year old golden retriever , he hasn't been feeling well for a few weeks, I thought it must have been something he got into because it seemed like something was lodged in his throat because he was acting like he was chocking and having a hard time breathing, we took him to the vet a few days ago and I insisted on him having an X-ray to see what might be stuck in his throat, when given the X-ray the vet just happen to catch a bit of his heart in it and then informed me that he has an enlarged heart, I didn't kow what to do or what to say in that moment I just wanted to run out of there and make belive that didn't just happen. He is my baby and to hear something that serious might be wrong just about broke my heart. she also tested him for hyper thyroid and turns out he has been suffering though that as well , he's on pills for that now and also on an antibiotic incase he has an underline infection that might be adding to his problems, we take him back to the vet this Monday to get a full X-ray of his heart to see what's going on. I am quite anxious about getting it done because I am so afraid of the outcome. But at the same time I want to know exactly what's going on because he is in distress and that's hard to watch too, when there isn't much I can do for him except comfort him at this point. I pray there are pills out there that can help him to feel better . My heart will break if something happens to hm, he's been my buddy for four years and I don't want to lose him, I experienced the same heart break 15 years ago with another dog and I swore then I would not get another dog because letting them go is so painfull, but when saw Parker for he first time I knew he was going to come home with us , and no matter the out come I don't regret that decision for a minute he's been a wonderfull listener he's made me laugh and just overall brought joy to our home, so i guess the bottom line is would I do this again, i realy don know t this point all I do know is that I hope and pray Parker will feel better soon and that he's with us for many years.

My wife and I just had the same thing happen. Our little 11 year old Chihuahua was fine in 2010 (had checkup with senior blood panel), this year she was diagnosed with a hear murmur (3), we took her to the cardiologist who did an Echo cardiogram and EKG - said she had moderate leaky valve on the left side but was not in congestive heart failture and this morning we found her dead in her bed. I am just in shock.

Just today my dog died to a heart attack. What was much different to most was that she puke one or two times before we believed it was urgent to go to the vet. There was deterioration to breathing. It was a German Shepard. By the time my parents reached the vet office it was too late. I hope this helps anyone that may find this happen to them.

We just received the autopsy results from our 8yr old Husky's death. The Vet said his heart collapsed. There were no signs of trauma, so he believes it was sudden and no pain. Apparently, this was not something we could have prevented. He is survived by his mate, Kadesh, daughter Dyna, son Darth, grandson Krypto, and of course his human family. We are healing but it's not easy, when it's a sudden death, like this.

I was just walking Millie, our 1.5 year old golden, in the park with Jack, a 9 month old golden. They were playing together and all of a sudden Jack groaned, collapsed and died. It had to be a heart attack but I am not sure. The owner was worried she had done something wrong which I am sure was not the case. It was and is awful. Kiss your dogs and enjoy every moment with them-who knows when it will be there last
