Congestive Heart Failure

Congestive Heart Failure
Right-sided congestive heart failure occurs when the heart fails to pump blood at the rate required to meet the basic needs of the body.  While it is not curable, there are treatment options that can improve the quality of life for your pet.  

Prevention of Congestive Heart Failure
Preventing right-sided Congestive Heart Failure is dependent on the underlying cause of the disease.  For example, if heartworms are the cause of the heart diseases, you will need to ensure that your dog is taking heartworm preventative regularly, and that you revisit your veterinarian for routine wellness checkups.
