How We Handle our 38-year-old DYH Amazon’s Heart Disease
Patty M. relates,
My 38-year-old DYH Amazon just had an echocardiogram done by Dr. Fitzgerald, an avian cardiologist specialist. It was a beneficial exam that helped us adjust Pancho’s meds. Pancho has the typical Amazon heart disease, but it doesn’t mean the end if you take special care and take advantage of all the modern technology available.
Pancho has been on Isoxsuprine and Enapril for 5 years!
She gets checkups with blood work every 6 months.
With the guidance of my Avian Accredited Veterinarian, she is doing better than expected.
