Coosa Creek Cavaliers Heart Clinic Cardiology Screenings by Dr. Tacy Rupp, Board Certified Cardiologist Our most recent clinic was held on September 25, 2020 Heart Clinic -- informative and a success! Our clinics are typically annual and almost always held at the 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; nearly 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 Clinics with Dr. Rupp. Our September 25, 2020 Heart Clinic was informative and a success! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ |
