Coastal Veterinary's Extraordinary Pet Cardiology (Heart) Care in Toms River, NJ
Heart disease can lead to congestive heart failure (CHF), which occurs when the heart can no longer pump blood effectively. If an animal is suffering from CHF, fluid usually accumulates around the lungs and sometimes in the abdomen. Congenital heart disease (animals born with a heart problem), valvular heart disease (abnormalities of the heart valves), arrhythmias (rhythm disturbances), and heartworm disease can all lead to CHF.
We can discover many heart problems during a physical exam or radiographs (X-rays) but sometimes we may work with and refer you to a cardiologist for an electrocardiogram or ultrasound to provide the best care. At Coastal Veterinary, we’re here to help. Call us if your pet starts breathing rapidly or coughing, loses their appetite, tires easily, seems weak, or has trouble exercising. We can discover many heart problems during a physical exam.
