Klinika dla Małych Zwierząt Wąsiatycz Veterinary Cardiologist - Poznań

Heart disease in animals often develops gradually, and the first symptoms may seem insignificant. Becoming tired more quickly during walks, coughing (especially after exercise or at night), shortness of breath, weakness, fainting, or a noticeable decrease in energy are all signs that it is worth checking your pet’s cardiovascular system. At the Wąsiatycz Small Animal Clinic in Poznań, we provide comprehensive diagnostics and ongoing care for cardiology patients - from the first consultation to long-term treatment monitoring.

It is worth scheduling a cardiology consultation if your pet develops:

• coughing, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, or difficulty breathing,
• tiring quickly, reduced exercise tolerance, reluctance to move,
• fainting, episodes of weakness, or "freezing" episodes,
• bluish discoloration of the tongue or mucous membranes, abdominal enlargement,
• heart murmurs detected during examination or concerning results from previous tests,
• pitting edema of the limbs.

Early diagnosis allows treatment to begin sooner, reduces the risk of exacerbations, and improves your pet’s quality of life.

During the consultation, we take a thorough medical history, perform a clinical examination, and select diagnostic tests according to your pet’s symptoms and overall condition. We perform echocardiography (heart ultrasound), Doppler examination, ECG, chest X-rays, and blood pressure measurement. This allows us to assess heart muscle function, valve function, and blood flow, as well as diagnose conditions such as heart failure, cardiomyopathies, congenital heart defects, and hypertension.

Cardiology often requires long-term care. We establish an individual treatment plan, explain to the owner what should be monitored at home (breathing, exercise tolerance, appetite), and schedule follow-up visits. Regular consultations allow us to monitor treatment effectiveness and safely adjust medication dosages when necessary. Our goal is to provide a clear treatment plan that is practical and easy to follow in everyday life.

If you suspect your dog or cat has a heart problem, contact us and schedule a cardiology consultation in Poznań.
