Darker Walks: Use reflective gear or clip-on LED lights during early morning and evening walks. 🔦

Cozy Precautions: Keep space heaters, fireplaces, and lit candles guarded against curious paws and tails. 🕯️

Yard Risks: Avoid letting dogs ingest acorns, pinecones, or moldy leaf piles, which can host lingering ticks. 🐿️

This sweet girl is 14 years young and still holding strong! Blu first joined the CVCA Cardiology family back in 2024 to get checked for an arrhythmia, and was later diagnosed with Chronic Degenerative Valve Disease (CDVD).

Her latest checkup showed wonderfully stable results, and we couldn’t be happier to watch her keep thriving, playing, and living her best life.

We love you, sweet Blu! Keep shining! ✨

Good news alert! 📣 TP’s heart exam is in, and it turns out he’s just special.

His heart murmur is caused by something called DUST (a minor thickening of the heart wall). It’s essentially a structural quirk that creates a little "noise," but doesn't slow him down!

✅ No cardiac rechecks needed.
✅ No cause for concern.
✅ 100% chance of more naps.

We love a happy ending. Stay sweet, TP! 💤✨

It's getting chilly! 🥶Cold weather can affect your pet's joints, skin, activity, and routines. Here are a few tips to prepare your pet for wintertime:
- Provide a warm and cozy space off of the floor and away from drafts
- Sweaters or jackets are great for short-haired, small or senior pets
- Limit your pet's time outside in the extreme cold
- Some pets' nutrition needs might change during the winter. Talk to your vet if you think this might be the case.

Have questions? We’re always here to help!

Happy Wednesday! 🐾

Happy Wednesday from ZOE! 😍

Zoe's recheck echocardiogram revealed that she has a very mild form of a congenital heart condition called subaortic stenosis. This refers to a narrowing (stenosis) in the region of the heart just below the aortic valve, where blood leaves the left ventricle (the main pumping chamber of the heart) to enter the aorta. The narrowing results in an obstruction to forward blood flow that, in severe cases, requires the left ventricle to become stronger and thicker in order to send blood into the aorta. Abnormally fast and turbulent blood flow downstream of the obstruction can disrupt the normal function of the nearby aortic valve, resulting in backward flow across this valve (called aortic regurgitation). Fortunately for Zoe, the degree of her subaortic stenosis is extremely mild. In addition, because she has reached full adulthood, the severity of her condition is not expected to increase in the future. YAY! 🥳

Regarding the mild thickening of her mitral valve and very small amount of backward flow across it, this has proven to be remarkably stable over time. Although some degree of heart chamber enlargement was noted during one evaluation in September of 2018 (leading to the use of pimobendan), this now appears to have been an anomalous time point. Following previous normalization of heart chamber size and then discontinuation of the pimobendan last September, Zoe continues to be free of any apparent heart chamber enlargement!!! Best news EVER!! 👏🏽

As much as we will miss Zoe's visits, we do not have a plan for further cardiology appointments for Zoe. We love you Zoe! ♥️
