Pet Cardiac Health: Where Loving Care Makes the Difference

Eastgate Animal Clinic appreciates the treasured bond between you and your pet, and we value the opportunity to partner with you on his or her cardiac care. Our highly trained veterinarians and staff are dedicated to providing outstanding cardiac care for your pet.

We have assembled the latest in pet health care technologically to provide diagnosis and monitoring of your pet’s cardiac condition. Our use of evidence-based medicine provides a method of determining the underlying cause of your pet’s heart condition and provides the best treatment options that are cost effective. To ensure your pet receives the best care, we have partnerships with board-certified cardiac specialists. This allows us to provide the advanced cardiac care your pet needs and the convenience of our location.

Our advanced medical setting includes an onsite laboratory, and common cardiac tests that we can perform include:

• Blood testing—Assessment of key cardiac biomarkers, blood chemistry, and complete blood count to aid in the diagnosis of cardiac complications
• Pet X-ray (radiography)—Provides a view of your pet’s heart to evaluate abnormalities in heart size and shape
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)—Evaluates the electrical activity of your pet’s heart to measure and diagnose abnormal heart rhythms
• Ultrasound—Evaluates heart performance

You know your pet best, and subtle changes in his or her habits can reflect a change in health. Please inform us if you notice any signs of a cardiac condition in your pet, such as:

• Coughing
• Changes in activity level
• Fainting
• Labored breathing
• Restlessness, especially at night
• Weight loss or weight gain
• Weakness
