Our clinic offers specialised veterinary cardiology services provided by certified cardiologists. Cardiology services encompass everything from routine check-ups to the treatment of complex cardiorespiratory diseases.
The cardiac examination includes:
- General clinical examination with auscultation of the heart and lungs
- Cardiac ultrasound (Colour Doppler)
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Non-invasive blood pressure measurement
- X-ray and blood tests, as needed
Heart problems in your pet can vary, and may include coughing, general weakness, fainting, fatigue without significant physical activity, rapid or laboured breathing, occasional abdominal swelling, or just a weaker appetite.
Cardiology includes the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as:
- Congestive heart failure
- Cardiomyopathy
- Congenital heart defects
- Changes in heart valves and arrhythmias
Veterinary cardiologists are a key part of your pet’s healthcare team from the moment a potential heart abnormality is noticed. Early heart disease diagnosis and appropriate treatment will help your pet lead a longer and healthier life.
A specialist cardiac examination is recommended:
- In pets where an abnormality in heart sounds or rhythm was observed in a general clinical examination
- In all dogs and cats over 7 years of age
- In older pets on long-term corticosteroid therapy
- In pets with endocrine diseases
- In older pets planned to undergo general anaesthesia
- In all breeding dogs and cats before they reach reproductive age
Caring for your pet’s heart health is our top priority. Our expert team is here to carry out all the necessary examinations and therapies.
