Coosa Creek Cavalier's Heart Clinic Screenings by Dr. Tacy Rupp, Board Certified Cardiologist Stay tuned . . . October 3, 2016 Heart Clinic -- informative and a success! Home of Coosa Creek Cavaliers and Juli Polachek-Drago |
As our Cavaliers age, they become more at risk for Mitral Valve Disease (MVD), an acquired and progressive disease of the heart which is hereditary to our breed. Research tells us that 50% of Cavaliers by the age of 5-6 will develop a heart murmur; 100% by the age of 10. It is important to monitor their heart health regularly. In most cases, your regular veterinarian visit will include an auscultation (careful listen to) of the heart to monitor the heart sounds for a possible murmur. At Coosa Creek Cavaliers, my breeding dogs are screened by Dr. Tacy Rupp, board certified cardiologist, with the hope to limit the risk of "early onset MVD." Please stay tuned for updates on upcoming Cardiology Clinic with Dr. Rupp. Our October 3, 2016 Heart Clinic was informative and a success! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ |
