Two signs of worsening heart failure are increased respiratory rate and persistent coughing.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs is typically not painful, but it can cause significant discomfort due to breathing difficulties, fatigue, and fluid buildup.

The most common cause of heart failure in dogs is mitral valve insufficiency (MVI), a condition where the mitral valve degenerates and fails to close properly, leading to blood leakage and decreased heart efficiency.

End-of-life in dogs with congestive heart failure includes severe breathing difficulty, extreme fatigue, weight loss, fainting, and fluid build-up, often leading to euthanasia based on quality of life assessments.

Enrofloxacin is an antibiotic used in dogs to treat bacterial infections of the skin, urinary tract, and respiratory system, as well as wound-related infections. It's effective against a broad range of bacteria but not viruses or fungi.
