Dental Care FAQ's

Healthy teeth are essential for your pet’s overall health and comfort. Dental disease is the most common medical condition in dogs and cats. By the age of three, most pets already have some degree of periodontal disease. Left untreated, dental disease can lead to:

  • oral pain
  • tooth loss
  • infection of the gums and bone
  • bacteria entering the bloodstream and affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys

A professional dental procedure allows us to thoroughly clean your pet’s teeth and evaluate the health of the mouth and tooth roots. At Second Chances Veterinary Care, every dental procedure includes a Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT) performed under safe general anesthesia.

Pet X-Ray/ Ultrasound

An echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) is needed to confirm the cause (origin) of the murmur and severity of heart disease (if any) present.

Appointment

It is impossible to determine whether a heart murmur is benign or pathologic by auscultation alone

(ie: listening to the heart with a stethoscope)

An echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) is needed to confirm the cause (origin) of the murmur and severity of heart disease (if any) present. Unfortunately the “loudness” or “Grade” (I-VI) of the heart murmur does not necessarily correlate with either heart disease presence or severity. For example, some cats can have significant heart disease present WITHOUT having a murmur.

Most echocardiograms are performed by a veterinary specialist called a cardiologist. Chest x-rays, EKG (heart rhythm strip), a blood test called Pro-BNP, and blood pressure measurements also give helpful information, but are not a substitute for an echocardiogram.

Many pets with persistent heart murmurs can live normal lives and may not ever progress to significant heart disease requiring medication, however, some do benefit from medication or are at risk of congestive heart failure.
