Subject: Medication suggestions for cardiomyopathy?
Hey guys,
Myst, who is 5 years old, has been diagnosed with early
cardiomypathy. It started with detection of a heart murmur during
her yearly exam. Chest xrays showed some enlargement and the
ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis. We also did a heartworm test,
which was negative (she's on preventative as well). She is not in
heart failure at this time, but has had some early signs of renal
problems.
My vet and I are trying to find medications that may help slow the
progression of her cardiomypathy, without creating additional kidney
problems. Do any of the vets or folks who have been through this
have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can send our way.
