In the USA, we have the OFFA database. I have to disagree with Rod about the information not being useful for Cavaliers in regards to hearts. Maybe I am missing something. Going through the database, I have not come across one abnormal yet. But I have not looked at ages etc. The reason I am doing this is because I may want a puppy in the future (could be a year). Anyway here are my questions.
- They have Cardiac either Normal- Practitioner or Normal Cardiologist. I guess I would only be looking at Cardiologist ones?
- I saw one that had normal- Cardiologist, Echo. I am curious because I heard in other countries, they have more advanced Heart screenings. I heard Franch has Ultrasound screenings that is more accurate and a different scheme. I don't have any research reports, but I have heard that this has helped increase in age of onset of MVD. Why do we not have that?
- What is Echo, what is doppler testing, why is OFFA not valuable with hearts?
