Condition

ENDOCARDOSIS - progressive degeneration of the heart valves

Signs

Cause

Treatment

Usually detected as a heart 'murmur' by the vet

The valves become shortened or thickened which prevents them from sealing off the heart chamber after each beat. Usually shows up in mid life and certain breeds are more suseptible

Diet herbs and homeopathy are very helpful but work over time - sometimes drugs are used for severe cases
