Cardiology

Healthy Hearts for a Lifetime of Tail Wags

Comprehensive Veterinary Cardiology in Downtown Durham

At Bull City Veterinary Hospital, we offer cardiology services to help pets live longer, more comfortable lives.

Sometimes, heart problems can be hard to spot early, but certain signs may signal your furry friend needs a checkup. 

Key signs that your pet may need heart care include:

• Coughing: Persistent or worsening cough can signal heart or lung issues.
• Trouble breathing or labored breaths: Difficulty breathing, rapid or shallow breaths may indicate heart problems.
• Unusual tiredness or fatigue: Quick exhaustion during walks or play often points to reduced heart function.
• Fainting spells or collapse: Sudden weakness or fainting may be due to irregular heart rhythms.
• Decreased interest in play and exercise: Losing enthusiasm for favorite activities can be a sign of cardiovascular decline.

Heart conditions in pets can be difficult to detect—but early diagnosis and treatment make a big difference.
