Monitoring
Your vet may suggest that you monitor certain aspects of your dog’s health to help gain a better understanding of how their heart is coping with the medication.
There are two main ways in which you can monitor your dog’s heart condition at home:
The first is to monitor your dog’s breathing rate.
The second is to keep a diary of their activity levels, appetite and demeanour.
Both of these methods of monitoring your dog’s health may help your vet understand how well they are responding to treatment and how their condition is progressing. Should you have any further questions on whether or not your dog would benefit from the monitoring or how and when to monitor your dog then you should contact your vet.
