Most Common Veterinary Cardiovascular Diseases

Congestive heart failure, a collapsed trachea and systemic hypertension are the most common cardiovascular diseases we help veterinarians treat:

Congestive Heart Failure

Congestive heart failure is the heart’s inability to pump adequate blood to the body and pooling of blood in the organs.

The most common symptoms include:
  • Low heart rate
  • Fatigue/Lethargy
  • Shortness of breath
  • Coughing

Collapsed Trachea

Tracheal collapse is a progressive respiratory condition that occurs when the tracheal rings of the cartilage collapse.

The most common symptoms include:
  • Shortness of breath
  • Coughing
  • Pacing

Systemic Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Systemic hypertension, or high blood pressure, is usually a sign of an underlying condition in animals.

Various conditions can cause high blood pressure in animals, which means there aren’t common, identifiable symptoms. A vet would monitor blood pressure to make a determination.


Treatment Made Easy With SaveWay

The good news is that most cardiovascular diseases are treatable with medication, and there are many forms to choose from. With SaveWay, your options range from liquids, mini-tablets, treats, transdermal gels and more, helping pets and their owners have a smoother medication-administration experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is compounding and why is it beneficial over medication that’s commercially available?

    Commercially available medications are often limited in the dosages, flavors and forms offered. That can be a problem for animals that get anxious when having to get an injection, that gag or vomit up pills or that lick up their topical medication in seconds.

    That’s why caretakers need options. Veterinary compounding is the process of combining, mixing or altering ingredients to create a custom medication that’s tailored to meet the needs of an individual animal. Whether an animal requires a specific dosage, form (oral, topical, injectable, etc.) or ingredient that isn’t commercially available, compounding is a way to help ensure treatment can be administered easily and effectively every time.

  • What animals do you serve?

    Our animal patient population includes:

    • Aquarium animals
