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.
What to Expect with Cardiology
Every visit follows four caring steps, so you and your pet always know what comes next.
Heart Evaluation
Your veterinarian listens to your pet's heart and lungs and reviews any symptoms you have noticed at home.
Imaging and Lab Work
We use digital X-rays, ultrasound, and in-house blood testing to understand what is happening inside your pet's heart.
Treatment Plan
Based on the results, we build a plan that may include medication, diet changes, and heartworm prevention.
Ongoing Monitoring
Heart conditions change over time, so we schedule regular rechecks to adjust care and keep your pet comfortable.
