Symptoms of Heart Disease
The most common form of cat heart disease is cardiomyopathy, a condition that occurs when blood flow is restricted, or when the heart becomes weak. Watch for signs of cat heart disease including coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, fainting, or panting after a minimal amount of exertion. Swollen limbs or dragging of a hind leg are also symptoms that may be related to your pet’s heart function.

It is always advisable to talk to your vet about any concerns you may have. We also welcome you to consult our Pet Expert Q&A or call our pet expert hotline at 1-877-937-4372.
Pet Expert Tip For Heart Disease In Cats
Dr. Hillary Cook, DVM, CVA and holistic veterinary partner at NHV says that optimal weight maintenance is probably one of the most important goals that pet parents should work toward in managing cardiac disease in their pets.
Hawthorne – Is considered to be one of the best herbs for fortifying the heart and supporting your veterinarian’s recommended cat heart disease treatment. Hawthorn acts as a cardiotonic, which helps stabilize the heart’s activity based on what the feline heart needs; either to be stimulated or reduce activity. Hawthorn has traditionally been used for heart failure, heart palpitations, heart weakness, and for the circulatory system. Hawthorne works by dilating the vessels and the coronary arteries, which improves the metabolic process and the blood supply to the heart and the rest of the cat’s body. It helps regulate your cat’s heart rate, coronary flow, and blood pressure. Hawthorne also has a soothing and sedative effect, which helps reduce stress.
Balsam Poplar – Stimulates circulation and supports blood flow. Balsam Poplar has been popular, historically, amongst the indigenous population in North America for coughs. It’s also been used as food for horses. Balsam Poplar has strong anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties.
