Enlarged heart and fluid in the lungs? - heart is slightly enlarged
During the holidays, my collie (maybe 10-12 years old) began with breathing problems. She eats far from being as active as adult dogs suffering from arthritis can be, and even to the toilet to go well. I took it to the veterans, where he ran several blood tests and took X-rays of his lungs and heart. Your liver and kidneys are working well and the heart rate remained stable and strong, but the X-ray showed some fluid in the lungs and slightly rounded (enlarged) heart. She received Lasix for water retention and reduce X-rays at the animal hospital at Ohio State. Lasix works, but after reading it for a few days not worked to breathe. Even if I am still waiting for the results, I asked myself, in addition to heart disease, there may be something else involved? So now eat is a very natural, corn and wheat diet without sugar and yogurt, with no oil, flaxseed and a probiotic is its good, but nothing could help to ensure that it is stronger.

Heart Is Slightly Enlarged Enlarged Heart And Fluid In The Lungs?

This is a good diet you have chosen for them. Make sure plenty of water.
Slightly rounded (enlarged)) can be caused by the heart "valve defects, tumors, parasites, heart, heart rhythm disturbances and muscle damage to himself," which tends to occur in large dogs, senior race.
Lasix should be continued as long as recommended by the veterinarian. Like yogurt, too. In general, the recommendation is only about one tablespoon per day. Some people are like a yogurt treatment every two days.
"Some veterinarians administer CoenzymeQ (30 mg three times daily) because of its positive effects in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (heart failure)"
Note: TID = three times daily
All I can think is to give love and attention. A happy dog is a dog book. Good luck
can pnemonia or as written
The symptoms are like pnemonia
Wired can cause an enlarged heart and congestive heart failure (which would explain the fluid in the lungs) .. You have had your dog in the custody or hardware has been tested?
Lasix over? Sounds like it, you should stay on the diuretic ... You keep doing what we now, as it seems very good. Perhaps the pro-biotic and a healthy diet and could tip the next time (start: treated)) and with enzymes that help break food for better absorption ... a good mother.:)
out of their misery
