In this second session of our 3-part series on the topic of degenerative mitral valve disease, we discuss the medical management of affected dogs.
In a conversational style, Drs. Sleeper and Adin go through treatment recommendations for each of the stages of heart disease, focusing on evidence-based medicine while providing practice pointers and advice for when standard treatments fail. They address frequently asked questions that come up when treating dogs with mitral valve disease and provide their viewpoint on managing the variety of clinical scenarios that can arise with this common disease in dogs.
