Pet Cardiology
Your pet’s heart is a muscle that has to work all day, every day. Many diseases and abnormalities can cause the heart not to pump as well as it should, which means that heart diseases can affect your pet all day, dramatically affecting your pet’s quality of life.
Screening
We offer screening tests for heart murmurs, congenital abnormalities, and cardiac diseases that show up later in life, as well as specific cardiac tests such as echocardiograms. An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart, which allows your pet’s veterinarian to measure how thick the heart’s muscular walls are, how well the heart contracts, and how well the valves are working. Your pet’s veterinarian can also prescribe the appropriate medications after a successful diagnosis to keep your pet’s heart as healthy as possible.
Symptoms
Some symptoms of diseases of the heart may include:
- Exercise intolerance
- Lethargy
- Collapse
- Difficulty breathing
Heartworm Prevention
At East El Paso Animal Hospital, we offer heartworm prevention and deworming. Both are essential to keeping your pet healthy, as the American Veterinary Medical Association has released information that heartworm disease affects all 50 states in the country.
If you have any concerns or questions about our cardiology screening, be sure to contact us at (915) 593-1712 or come in for a visit.
