heart valve disease

And so we, um, our focus is primarily on, a bit like with Neo, um, diagnosis and medical treatment.

Um, and we also have a very active surgery program, which, um, it's become very exciting over the last few years because mitral valve disease, which obviously affects, uh, so many cavoodles, um, and cavies and poodles, um, is now something that we can treat surgically.

So for me-

Mm

Um, you know, what are the most common heart conditions you see in things like cavoodles and oodles and those smaller breeds?

Um, it sort of comes down to two groups of diseases.

The first is the one that we're all so familiar with, which is myxomatous mitral valve disease, which is a aging and, unfortunately for cavoodles, a premature aging of the mitral valve.

Mm-hmm.
