A message from Dr. Arsenault:
It has been my pleasure to provide service for the pets, families, and local veterinarians of Southwest Florida for the last 20 years. Wow! How has it been 20 years already? There have been so many memories, experiences and friendships for me over this time that I will absolutely cherish. At this time, however, I have decided to take a step back and will only be at SWFVS on a very limited basis. I will leave my patients otherwise in the very skilled hands of Dr. Giannine Nader, who is our other (wonderful) board-certified cardiologist. I thank you for letting me be of service to you all! Happy Holidays!

Balto never minds his visits with Dr. Arsenault. He is such a good boy that he lays for his echocardiogram without even being held! ❤️❤️❤️
(Don’t worry his technician, Ashley, was right there in case he changed his mind!)

Meet Dexter!
Dexter recently had a very critical emergency surgery here at Southwest Florida Veterinary Specialists with our new part-time board-certified surgeon Dr. Stephen Garofolo. Dexter had a resection and anastomosis along with a splenectomy performed.
After six days, Dexter was able to go home with his lovely family.
Dexter visited us yesterday and is doing wonderful!

A huge shout out to the Cardiology team at Southwest Florida Veterinary Specialists!! Meet sweet Chloe, a 8-month old tiny Pomeranian puppy with a diagnosed Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). Weighing in at only 1.6 kg (3.5lb) she is by far the smallest attempted PDA closure, and with success!! 😍😁
Dr. Gianninne Nader has attempted various high risk and complicated interventional cath lab procedures with high success rates. Chloe's owners wanted to try occlusion of her PDA via a minimally invasive approach first. Typically, dogs under 2kg (4.5 lb) may require surgical ligation, however, Dr. Gianninne Nader was successful via the minimally invasive approach. Chloe's PDA is completely occluded using a canine specific device (ACDO). She is recovering in our ICU and will be discharged tomorrow morning.
By closure of her PDA, Chloe is expected to live a normal life. If you're interested in learning more about what SWFVS has to offer for our cardiac patients, visit our website.

Meet Joe! Joe is an 8 year old cat and a patient of Dr. Arsenault’s who has abnormal heartbeats. Joe is seen here having a Holter monitor placed and then relaxing in his chair with the monitor at home. A Holter monitor is an ambulatory EKG which is used to monitor the heart rhythm over 24 hours. Holter monitors help our cardiologists determine if a patient’s heart rhythm is abnormal and if medical treatment is necessary. The monitor is bandaged to the patient so that they can wear it home, allowing their heart rhythm to be monitored in the home environment free of hospital stress. Holter monitors are used in cats less often as they are generally less tolerant of wearing them (Cats make the rules, right?). Joe is a pretty good sport, however, and tolerates this to help Dr. Arsenault to know how to best treat his heart rhythm.

Meet this handsome Bernese Mountain Dog named Buckeye! He presented to our cardiology service with a rapid heart rate of more than 200 beats per minute. He was weak, lethargic and not feeling well. An echocardiogram was performed and showed a severely dilated and weakened heart, which was the result of his extremely high heart rate, a disease called tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy. Buckeye was started on life-saving antiarrhythmic medications. However, his response was short lived, and our cardiology team quickly worked in conjunction with an electrophysiologist, who performed a specialty cardiac ablation procedure to convert his focal atrial tachycardia back to a normal sinus rhythm. Several weeks after his successful procedure, his heart has remodeled close to normal and Buckeye is now living his best life with his wonderful owner. Clearly you can see, Buckeye loves to swim :-)
We are happy to see that he is doing so well!
