Section: Follow-Up

Optimal treatment for your pet requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care. Follow-up can be critical and may include the following:

Administer any prescribed veterinary medications as directed and be certain to contact your veterinarian if you are experiencing problems treating your pet.

Dogs with cardiac arrhythmias will require frequent veterinary evaluation (including listening to the heart with a stethoscope [cardiac auscultation].

Repeat ECGs may be called for to monitor your dog's response to therapy.

If a cardiac arrhythmia can be resolved, veterinary check-ups may not need to be as frequent.

Periodic chest X-rays and cardiac ultrasound are sometimes indicated.
