Cardiology for Pets
Your pet's heart works hard every day, and heart problems in dogs and cats often develop quietly. A murmur found at a checkup, or signs like coughing, tiring easily, or heavy breathing, can be the first clue. Finding heart disease early gives us the best chance to slow it down and keep your pet feeling good.
Our veterinarians evaluate heart health as part of every exam, listening carefully for murmurs and irregular rhythms. When something does not sound right, we can look deeper with digital X-rays and ultrasound to see the size and shape of the heart, along with blood work from our in-house laboratory.
Heartworm disease is a major cause of heart and lung damage here in Louisiana, where mosquitoes never take a season off. Regular testing and year-round prevention protect your pet's heart from a disease that is far easier to prevent than to treat.
Dr. Victor Goss has a special interest in cardiology, and our whole team at Prairieville Animal Hospital helps families manage heart conditions with medication, monitoring, and practical advice for daily life. Many pets with heart disease live happy lives for years with the right care.
If your pet has a murmur, a cough, or low energy, call us at (225) 677-5005. Regular wellness exams are the best way to catch heart problems early.
