Dr. Weihow Hseuh, assistant professor of cardiology at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, stresses that “heart failure is the end stage of heart disease” in dogs.
Learning to recognize heart illness in dogs and taking them to the clinic regularly slows the path to heart failure.
Not all dog heart murmurs are alike. Many puppies have a mild “innocent” cardiac murmur that fades away with age.
These murmurs aren't heart disease-related. Heart murmurs caused by disease are called “pathologic” murmurs.
Dr. Michael Aherne, clinical professor of cardiology at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, believes these are two of the easiest-to-miss symptoms, especially in older dogs.
Coughing is another heart disease symptom that might be misinterpreted. Kennel cough or pollen or dust irritation can cause dogs to cough.
