CVCA has published a study to determine the effect of the partnership between primary care veterinarians (pcDVM) and in person boardcertified veterinary cardiologists (BCVC) on survival time of
dogs after the onset of congestive heart failure (CHF) and associated revenue for the attending pcDVMs.

dogs are often young (3 - 18 months of age) and present with poor weight gain, progressive peripheral neuropathy including ataxia, leg crossing, tremors and paresis which worsens with exercise.Behavioral changes, blindness, dementia, anorexia, cachexia, urinary incontinence and muscle weakness affecting all four limbs are usually present in terminal stages of the disease with death occurring 2 - 6 months
after onset of clinical signs, necessitating euthanasia.

dogs are most contagious during this incubation period (the time from exposure to the development of clinical signs); furthermore they can continue to shed the virus for up to 10 days

Initially, affected animals should be isolated or otherwise closely managed for at least 7 to10 days
after the
onset of clinical signs, to prevent or at least minimize infection of other
