Spike has been diagnosed with DCM. She is also in the early stages of CHF. She has an appointment with a cardiologist in 2 weeks. Until then she has been put on Furosemide (lasex) and Vetmedin. Her appetite has dropped the past two days, to where she is only eating about 3oz. a day. I have called the vet to see if they think increasing her current meds would help, or perhaps adding an appetite stimulate. I am currently waiting for them to call back.
The vet hadn't been able to provide much information on Spike's condition. They are waiting until the cardiologist appointment. Until then, does anyone have any recommendations on food that might be beneficial? Any additional meds that could slow the progression?
Thanks in advance from little Spike.
