I certainly agree with Caity on this. We have a wee one with cardio. Having
the echocardiogram gave our vet the info needed on how best to treat. Buddy
had lost a kidney to adrenal disease, and has insulinoma now, so treating
him can be tricky. The cardiogram gives info that determines what meds are
best to use for his particular condition. Buddy is 7 now, I've had him only
a year, a year I would not trade for anything. I anticipate he will live
quite awhile longer and with very good quality of life.
