Many pets develop a form of heart disease that causes their lungs to fill with fluid. These pets suffer from an internal “waterboarding” because they feel as though they are suffocating, and they are. Fortunately, we have diagnostic and treatment tools that can help these pets.
Among the dogs most inclined to develop heart disease, including heart failure that leads to internal waterboarding are the Poodle, Yorkshire Terrier, Doberman Pinscher, Boxer, Great Dane, Irish Wolfhound, Newfoundland, Portuguese Water Dog, Dalmatian, Cocker Spaniel and Golden Retriever.
Cats also develop heart diseases that cause their lungs to fill with water, such as the Maine Coon and Ragdoll.
Over the next few entries, let’s cover heart diseases that cause the lungs to fill with water. We’ll consider how the diagnosis of heart disease is made and how it is treated. We’ll cover conventional cardiac medications, such as beta blockers and diuretics, and we’ll cover holistic therapies, including supplements, herbs, and homeopathy.
