UW Health Cardiovascular Medicine at Mile Bluff Clinic

Every visit begins with a Comprehensive Physical Exam, where we evaluate your pet’s cardiovascular health by listening to their heart and lungs, checking for murmurs, arrhythmias, or signs of congestion. This exam is foundational for diagnosing heart disease and planning preventive or therapeutic care.

We offer Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management to support pets with heart conditions, as diet plays a critical role in managing conditions like heart disease. Our recommendations may include low-sodium diets, weight loss plans, or supplements to improve cardiac function and overall health.

We perform In-House Bloodwork (CBC & Chemistry Panels) to assess your pet’s overall health, including cardiac markers like troponin or NT-proBNP, kidney function, and electrolyte balance. These tests help us monitor organ health and guide treatment decisions for pets with heart disease or related conditions.

Our clinic utilizes Ultrasound Imaging to evaluate cardiac structures and function, including assessing heart chambers, valves, and surrounding vessels. This non-invasive tool is essential for diagnosing conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy, heartworm disease, or pericardial effusion.

Our clinic offers Blood Pressure Monitoring to identify hypertension in pets, a condition often associated with heart disease, kidney issues, or endocrine disorders. Early detection allows us to implement lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, or medications to manage blood pressure and protect your pet’s cardiovascular health.

We provide EKG / ECG (Heart Monitoring) as part of our cardiology services to assess your pet’s heart rhythm and detect abnormalities such as arrhythmias or conduction disorders. This non-invasive test is crucial for diagnosing heart disease and guiding treatment plans, including medications or further interventions.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for pets with acute cardiac events, such as heart attacks, severe arrhythmias, or congestive heart failure. Our rapid-response team focuses on stabilizing your pet with IV Fluid Therapy, Oxygen Therapy, medications, and monitoring to prepare for further treatment.

For pets requiring intensive cardiac care, we offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring to manage acute conditions such as heart failure, post-surgical recovery, or severe arrhythmias. Our specialized care includes IV Fluid Therapy, Oxygen Therapy, and continuous monitoring to stabilize your pet’s condition.

For pets experiencing respiratory distress or severe heart conditions, we offer Oxygen Therapy to improve oxygen saturation and support their cardiovascular system. This intervention is often used in emergency stabilization or during hospitalization for critical cases.

Our clinic administers IV Fluid Therapy to pets with dehydration, heart failure, or those requiring fluid support during procedures. This therapy helps maintain proper hydration, blood pressure, and organ function, particularly critical for pets with cardiac or renal conditions.

We provide Pain Management strategies tailored to pets with cardiac or other chronic conditions. Whether your pet requires pain relief post-surgery or for managing discomfort from heart disease, we offer medications and therapies to improve their quality of life while minimizing stress on their cardiovascular system.

For pets with advanced heart disease, we provide Quality of Life Assessment to evaluate their comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. This helps us and pet owners make informed decisions about treatment options, palliative care, or end-of-life considerations.
