Section: Follow-up
Optimal treatment for the dog with moderate to severe SAS requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care. Follow-up can be critical. Administer any prescribed medication as directed by your veterinarian. Be certain to alert your veterinarian if you are experiencing problems while treating your dog, especially collapsing with exercise, difficulty in breathing, coughing or signs of illness with fever. Schedule regular examinations every 6 to 12 months, including perhaps chest X-rays and/or an echocardiogram.
Heart failure is a condition, caused by an abnormality in the structure or the function of the heart, in which it is unable to pump normal quantities of blood to the tissues of the body.
