Last August my 10 year old, Buddy, was diagnosed with a stage 2-3 heart murmur. The x-ray and probnp test all came back fine-no enlarged heart or signs of CHF. Because he was symptomatic (exercise intolerance and general unwellness) he was put on furosemide and benazapril, which worked miracles. He was back to his old self until this past April, when all the old symptoms started up again.
I have a vet appt tomorrow, but wanted to get your opinion on the next step. I can’t afford a cardiologist or a cardiogram. At this stage, should the meds be increased or should vetmedin be added? Buddy is currently on 20 mg of furosemide and 5 mg of benazapril.
thanks
