In relation to my dobermann, I have his test results back now and he has an enlarged heart and fluid on the lungs. His ECG showed abnormal heart beats from the wrong side of his heart. He has been started on vetmedin and a diuretic (frusemide I think). His results have been sent to a cardiologist and he may need a cardiac ultrasound. He is on the tablets for 10 days when we go back. However my vet has not told us long term prognosis, he has not told us if it is safe to take him out for a walk, if we should change his diet or anything. DOes anyone have any advice? He is 4 and otherwise healthy and active and has been dying to go out for a walk but we were told to avoid this on sat. Is it ok to take him out now? ANy help please email me juka41@yahoo.co.uk

Guest the GUEST facility is for a guest to post one question, after this they should join so that they can continue with posting on their or any other topic.

Starting new topics like this makes things very confusing as people will be adding to your other posts too.

Registering is easy and pretty painless, and then we know that you are the same person :D

Admin also will remove repeat posts by guests once they realise they are from the same source thereby losing the information.
