Southeast Veterinary Cardiology

5 years. Grateful.

Since late September 2019, veterinary clinics around north GA and metro Atlanta have graciously hosted me in their spaces to try and help them with their patients' cardiac issues. Through this time, I've developed so many relationships with clinic staff and vets while we all work to help the pets whose owners have entrusted to us. It is a privilege that I do not take for granted - thank you for making the last 5 years so amazing!

Here's to many more, God willing!

As Southeast Veterinary Cardiology gears up for a busy summer/fall 2021, we'll be intermittently posting important articles that help you practice the best medicine possible. Here's an excellent, (really) thorough review about heart murmurs in dogs & cats. Highly recommended read for every veterinarian.

SEVC is here to help primary care vets inside their own clinic when any murmurs (or arrhythmias too) are noted in their patients. A huge thank you to all the clinics utilizing SEVC already, looking forward to being able to help more in the future!

A dog or a cat has an incidentally detected heart murmur if the murmur is an unexpected discovery during a veterinary consultation that was not initia…

Veterinary cardiologists have been seeing these cases for a couple of years now, but this is a great reminder for pet owners to not believe the marketing hype of these boutique diets. It's true we don't know exactly what is causing the heart changes in the diets, but Dr. Pogue has seen pets pass away from this condition (including Bailey mentioned in the story). If you are worried about the diet or need dietary recommendations, please talk with your primary care veterinarian. If your vet is worried about heart disease, consider having an echocardiogram performed by SEVC or your local cardiologist.

Here's a link to the June 2019 FDA report mentioned in the story:

Local dogs are dying and veterinarians think it has something to do with what we’re feeding our pets.
