Cats in heart failure provide a variety of challenges from initial diagnosis when clinical signs are non-specific or the cat is in distress, to treatment, where options are not as straightforward in dogs.
This webinar will cover how we can use diagnostic tools like physical examination, point-of-care ultrasound, and NT-proBNP to confidently diagnose cats in heart failure, as well as treatment approaches. Oxygen and frusemide are mainstays, but with lower frusemide doses than in dogs. Other considerations include thoracocentesis for pleural effusion, the need for thromboprophylaxis, and when to use pimobendan. By the end of this webinar, you’ll feel more confident helping our feline friends in heart failure.
