After all this talk of MVD and reading Rod's site and what Pat said, it is vital that Cavaliers have their hearts checked by a cardiologist once a year. So I checked Rod's website for upcoming clinics and there are none close by. On his list of Board Certified Cardiologists, there is someone in my city. So I called and asked if she would do a clinic or something if I got a group together. I only have to get three cavaliers (or dogs) and the exam will be $35 for each cavalier (after I pay for my consultation of $120)
This seems well worth it but can anyone tell me how I can explain to Cavalier owners in a newsletter I do, why it is important vs. a vet? I know that a vet may not pick up a murmur, but if it is detected earlier how does that result in better treatment?
I think it should not be breeders doing this as Rod and others have told me. So I hope I can get three others :blabla:
