Think about the implications of giving an animal the diagnosis of cardiac disease. What major changes in care and lifestyle will follow for the animal and the owner?
What will be an ideal response?
Changes in care and lifestyle include the following:
Dietary changes (including reducing treats)
Diuretics can cause the animal to urinate more, so dogs will need to be taken outside to urinate more often. Cats will need their litterboxes cleaned more frequently.
Medications, prescription diets, and examinations will cost the client more money.
Examinations by the veterinarian mean the client must allocate time for taking the animal to the clinic.
Medications may need to be given at times that will require the client to come home during the day if he or she works outside the home.
Animals may need their exercise limited.
