Heart Disease In Pets Vet Hospital South Philadelphia

There are many causes of Congestive Heart Failure but it’s important to think of this more as a “state of being” than the disease which causes it. Pets can go in and out of congestive heart failure many times as medications are initiated and dosages are changed, or as a disease state progresses. There is always an underlying disease state which causes this. The most common cause of heart failure is valvular disease, or an age-related defect in the valves which separate the chambers of the heart.
