The most common heart disease in dogs affects the left side of the heart and is known as degenerative mitral valve disease. Often associated with a heart murmur, this disease can lead over time to congestive heart failure. On this show, veterinary cardiology specialist Dr. Simon Swift will discuss disease symptoms of mitral valve disease, treatment best practices and more with a focus on small breed dogs, which have a propensity to develop the disease, and his own clinical research, specifically with cavalier King Charles spaniels.
