What should I watch out for with a puppy’s enlarged heart?
An enlarged heart is basically incurable; give the prescribed medication on schedule (based on symptoms), and supplement vitamins and nutrition to ease signs. Limit activity, avoid intense exercise and fright (which burden the heart). Take it for regular vet check-ups so the condition isn't missed.
What happens if a dog eats anti-inflammatory medicine?
Some anti-inflammatories irritate the gut, especially on an empty stomach, causing mild vomiting, diarrhea, or poor appetite. Some dogs are allergic to certain ingredients (rash, itch, rapid breathing, even shock). Long-term high doses can damage the liver and kidneys. Give meds under veterinary guidance; seek care if clear adverse reactions appear.
