Dog Heart Disease: Top 5 Natural Remedies

[@sunnysmiles8211]

1. Lower sodium diet (esp canned meats) 2. Wild fish oil/Flax oil) Essential Fatty Acids 3. Coenzyme Q 10 for heart muscle strength 4. Diuretic like Dandelion Leaf tea (helps replace some potassium) 5. Nettle (helps replace some magnesium)

My 12-year-old chihuahua has a PDA which has resulted in moderate pulmonary hypertension. She is at risk for progressive pulmonary hypertension and shunt reversal. Her ECHO result suggested that she takes sildenafil 5mg TID, and Vetmedin 0.625mg BID; and it's also recommended that we have a consultation with a surgeon or interventional cardiologist to discuss PDA ligation/occlusion. The surgery isn't an option for me due to her age and our financial situation. Doctor Jones, would you please kindly recommend some helpful supplements and tips for my baby? Is the above list also helpful for my baby's kind of heart disease? Thank you so much.

[@tamarajane9086]

@@vha3742171my chihuahua cross /corgi had a fatty tumour lump on her chest that the vet said was fine unless it got bigger, so I searched on line and found information that said about Organic Cold Pressed Caster Oil . So I bought the best I could find as my son was going to try it to as he has a few non cancerous lumps on his body. I made a caster oil pack by putting a small bit of caster oil on a clean piece of cloth with some clingfilm on top of that , followed by a bandage, I used to put it on her at night only, and the lump that was quite big has decreased to almost gone, and this is the same for my son, but as his lumps are smaller he adds more caster oil during the day and keeps the bandage on under a baggie shirt day and night and two of his are nearly almost gone too, I hope that this helps ❤❤

we met with Chuys cardiologist Emily Chapel at access specialty animal hospital. The last two days have been difficult and hard for me to express and find the words. So I just wanted to spend some alone time with my Chuy. Chuys cardiologist Emily Chapel was so kind and sensitive with letting me know what to expect from here on out with Chuy. She found that chuy has two heart problems, he has Dilated cardiomyopathy and Mitral valve dysplasia 🙏🏼 which means he was born with a poor heart. They found that He’s had heart disease for months if not years. 💔 and the changes to the mitral valve have been present for years. Based on the radiographs and Chuys examination Chuy did in fact have congestive heart failure. Sadly, there is no cure for dilated cardiomyopathy or mitral valve dysplasia and medications are needed long term to control their symptoms. This was the hard part to hear, once dogs develop congestive heart failure the median survival for these dogs is roughly 1 to 2 years on medications. She prescribed Chuy a higher dose of furosemide. The last two days Chuys been adjusting to a higher dose and showing signs of fatigue. In time he will struggle. This news is hard to accept but I have to remain strong for him. And treasure every moment I have with him. He’s a strong warrior for 5 years his heart has survived and I’m praying and hoping he’ll make it to 6 years or 7. I’m in deep peace he’s taken care of and comfortable. I have done everything I can. he’s loved so much. But please he’s been looking so weak 😢 please is there anything else I can do for him

[@Secret-sw8ih]

A vet usually first notices a heart murmur during a routine check up, when that happened we decided to take my dog to see a specialist veterinary Cardiologist. From there he had echocardiograms, blood pressure monitoring etc.. A dog's murmur is staged, from 1 to 6 (I think).....there can be a long, long time (years) between murmur from early MVD (Mitral Valve Disease) to Heart Failure & then Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) neither of the last two may ever even occur, the dog may die of other causes. However, some dogs progress very quickly, sadly, especially King Charles Cavalier Spaniels. The cardio vet must check your dog regularly & at each stage (your dog will need yearly or possibly 6 monthly checkups later on) for medication changes & additions as it progresses (the drugs used to control this are varied depending on how fast or how slowly it's progressing - each drug is introduced gradually) done by a Veterinary cardiologist. There are supplements that can help - Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules (not salmon oil) is most important, but also helpful are: Ubiquinol, D-Ribose, L-Arganine, Green Lipped Mussel, Propionyl L-Carnitine, vitamin C, (please look at supplements yourselves) but do tell your dog's cardio vet what you're planning on giving your dog too! X Hope this helps.

[@Faithful2410]

In what dosage for each?

[@Secret-sw8ih]

@@Faithful2410 carnitine & taurine can be found in cardiocare/heart food (my dog has a veterinary heart food, either from Purina or Royal Canin cardiac. The Omega 3 might be in the food too, or you can buy gel capsules. The rest .. dosages should be on the jars/bottles depending on the size of your dog or cat but make sure they are veterinary supplements. The most important thing for us has been Vetmedin (Pimobendan) & renal or heart food, or at the very least, senior food (the salt content is a lot less etc). Toto our Yorkie is doing very well just on the Vetmedin only at the moment.

[@Secret-sw8ih]

Vetmedin has to be prescribed by a vet. He's only on that from the vet & he's doing great! 16 years at Christmas! He has been on various supplements in the past though x

Because heart stuff taxes the liver & kidneys a bit, that's why we feed him WET tinned food (various) but he also has some dried mixed in sometimes & little bit of table food, fruit & titbits/treats.

Love how the dog yawns as hes talking 😂 was very informative though. My 9 year old cairn has a loud murmur and he had a knee ligament injury 5 months ago. He takes this supplement with omega 3 in it and im sure his hearts improved since. He goes for another checkup in 2 months.

hi can i use dandelion roots capsules? instead of dandelion leaf? im here in thd philippines dandelion leaf extract is not available. i mean are dandelion root capsules are also diuretic?

[@bikerguy2654]

Dr. Jones, would you suggest using cbd oil for an 18 y/o Bichon Poodle with congestive heart issue and a slight kidney ailment? Is my dog too old? Would it help at all? Thanks for a reply.

[@karlbuchanan1363]

I think you have to buy the webinar but our 18 year old used cbd and she did not need the whole dose bevause she was 18...like older people. She also used reishi, cordyceps and turkey tail mushroom extract and essiac tea (the 4 herb version from us or starwest) all of ours are health food eaters and that they got older, cooked food too. Ideas for you might be on "sunnys liver diet" page, sunny has gone, but her owner left their story up for others as they had good success too

[@natashas8592]

wow 18! how’s your dog now? i hope he/she is well. also what have u been been feeding your dog? my dog is only 3 but has been diagnosed with a level 3 heart murmur :((

[@monicasharma8160]

If my dog is on diuretics can I still give dandelion and nettle. ? Pls reply.

I have a Chihuahua that was diagnosed with a stage 3 heart murmur and a collapsed treachea...They put her on TES...2x weekly...She still coughs some but my question is of the remedies you mentioned which would be good for her under these circumstances,? I don't think we're supposed to use all mentioned, but idk... tysm!

[@resinart2098]

Hi hun my 14 year old has hurt murder since birth and now he has Tracheal collapse and enlarged heart. Hes on Vetmedin and take 1 every 12 hours. He has fainting episodes when excited by seeing other dogs. How is your dog doing? I would go with the fish oil to be honest.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Hi- your dog can be on the alternative and conventional meds. Sorry to hear Arshi that the vetmedinis not helping as it usually does.

I stopped turmeric for my dog...he fainted twice that day...mom says turmeric is very hot...(causes body heat) so now I'm staying away. Just boiled chicken only

[@Truther567]

BeautyGuru Xoxo , I give my dog chicken cooked in a crock pot. She loves it. Meat IS supposed to be the 1st thing mentioned in a dog’s food, right ?

[@j6453]

Great video! May I ask, is this for prevention (for example, the diuretic) or for treatment of symptoms?

[@Sanzitvilla]

Even though I am giving Safe heart 10 and cardio support from past one month my dog is still coughing and vomiting once or twice a day ... I don't know what else to do

[@sylviamanning1845]

Dr. Andrews, my Chihuahua was diagnosed with mild heart murmur. What that means when the vet says mild? It could be 1 or 2 grade? He prescribed Enalapril, however, I make a research and this pills has a bunch of secondary effects. I make a decision to treat him naturally. So I just got CoQ Ubiqinol 50mg. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks

[@mindheartspeak]

Thank you. for the info. I am noticing my dog coughing more after a week of furosemide and pimobendan. He also had prednisolone for two weeks along with these and is currently also taking Q10. I thought that furosemide and pimobendan might have caused his coughing ang heaving more. That is why I searched for possible natural means to help alleviate his suffering. Could you please comment n this? Thank you once again. Jon (my dog's name)

[@dannyg3400]

My dog has the same heart disease.. He on pimobendan...furosemide...vetlife cardiac diet..cardio support supplement.. Hawthorne beryy tincture and cbd oil..thank you .. these supplement helps him more than the meds..but my vet suggested me not to discontinue the pimobendan and furosemide

[@xyz6085]

does pimobendan cause cough

[@Phuztone]

My dog has the mitral valve disease & is suffering from fluid that fills his abdomen. My vet does a drainage every week & gets as much as 1 liter of fluid out. I question him as to the possibility of using a Jackson-Pratt drainage system to continually draw off small amounts as it builds up so that I wouldn't have to put my dog thru the once a week draining. His response was that he never heard of this procedure. I was hoping you may have heard of it & may be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Hi- in practice I placed indwelling drains, but they still needed to be manually drained. Here is some info on the system you mentioned: todaysveterinarypractice.com/practice-step-stepplacement-managementjackson-pratt-closed-active-suction-drain/

[@Phuztone]

Thanks for the info. I have read up on most of these drains & know that they are to be used for short lengths of time. What I was trying to find out was there any drain that you know about that can be used for extended length of time. A drain that the tube can be placed in the abdomen & once or twice a day connect the bulb to the tube & suck out the fluid to keep the fluid from building up. As I said, I'm taking my dog at least once a week to get up to a liter of fluid or more removed. My vet is all for trying this type of drain but has never tried using it & would like to find a vet that has done this sort of thing.

[@ValePlace]

My peek-a-poo Mr. JINGLES 😢 has had an abdomen tap 4x since June 2023. He's currently in a hospital overnight receiving yet another tap since a week ago. He fills up w fluid n doesn't want to eat. After he is tapped, voracious appetite. At $219/ a tap... This is not financially sustainable 😢. I'm going to look to add some of the natural remedies I saw in your video

[@ValePlace]

He is on: vetmedin 3x daily; spiralactone 2x daily Furosemide 3x daily Hydrocodone 2x daily for cough. But I only give it to him once at nite to sleep. I have been combing these videos picking up excellent pointers. My 13 yr old peek-a-poo has been on this medication regimen since April 2021. Vet seems to think he's in last stage of his CHF mitral valve disorder. I'm going to investigate further additional remedies. I'd love to give his body a break from all the meds. 😢

[@janetlara169]

@@ValePlacehow did that go? My dog is the same. His heart murmur is on stage 6 and degenerative mitral valve disease stage 2.
