A BIG thank you to Fur Baby’s Veterinary Hospital for having me! Endoscopy is a great way to diagnose internal conditions of the nose, trachea/lower airways, GI tract and urinary tract. Contact CVDC or your family vet for more information!

Visited Bienville Animal Medical Center a couple times this week to help out a few pups and a kitty too! Jelly (pictured) was especially sweet! Did you know booking an Internal Medicine consultation allows direct access to specialty care without having to travel. Contact CVDC for more information!

Got to visit some great clinics today! First stop was The Pet Connection for an internal medicine consultation and ultrasound. Second stop was to see friends at Animal Hospital of Orange Grove for another ultrasound. Building relationships with your family vet is the best part of what CVDC does! 🐈🐕

Fact of the day: Certain breeds of dogs and cats are predisposed to heart disease.

*Great Danes and Doberman Pinchers: Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

*Maine C**n and Ragdoll cats: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

*Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Dachshunds: Chronic Valvular Disease.

This doesn’t mean other breeds can’t get heart disease. In most cases, these diseases remain hidden until they are advanced. Diagnosing heart disease early with echocardiography (heart ultrasound) can help slow the progression to advanced stages.

CVDC can come to your veterinarian to easily perform this testing for your pet. Call CVDC or your veterinarian for more information and scheduling!

Did you know that abdominal ultrasound is a great tool for identifying issues in older pets before they become a major problem? Its actually listed as a recommended test for all senior pets by the American Animal Hospital Association. Diagnostic ultrasound is not always available however CVDC can come to your veterinarian to easily perform this testing for your pet. Call CVDC or your veterinarian for more information and scheduling!

Dr Muro visited Lakeview Animal Hospital this week to perform a GI endoscopy on a pup with chronic GI upset. By obtaining a diagnosis, treatment can be tailored for a more successful outcome.

Has your pet been diagnosed with a heart murmur or abnormal heart beat? An echocardiogram can provide more detailed information than X-rays when it comes to heart disease in pets. This can help determine if your pet is safe to undergo anesthesia for dentals, surgery, etc. Call CVDC or your veterinarian for more information and scheduling!

Dr. Muro had the opportunity to visit Live Oak Animal Hospital and collaborate with their amazing team to perform an abdominal ultrasound on a sick pup, providing much needed answers for the pet owners.

If you believe your pet needs advanced testing, get in touch with CVDC or your veterinarian for assistance.

CVDC performs endoscopy! If your pet suffers from weight loss, loss of appetite, persistent or intermittent GI upset (or just ate something they shouldn’t!), they may benefit from a scope and biopsies. Call CVDC or ask your veterinarian.
