ECHOCARDIOGRAM CLINIC
SATURDAY, JULY 20, 2013, RELIANT WORLD SERIES OF DOG SHOWS
The Galveston County Kennel Club is hosting this event
Dr. Katie Meier, DVM, DACVIM, Cardiology
Dr. Michael Cocchiaro DVM, DACVIM - Cardiology
Board Certified Cardiologists and staff from Austin Heart Vet, PLLC
"The purpose of this clinic is to screen potential breeding animals for heart disease and provide documentation to send to OFA registry. It is
not to diagnose already suspected heart disease. Appointments should be made to discuss that in the office. We allot about 15 minutes per
dog for an echo for these clinics, which is sufficient to clear dogs or identify things that might make an owner/breeder want to reconsider
breeding, but this is not sufficient to have a discussion about heart disease. An exam and echo in the office is $450.00 so this is a
substantial savings. Pregnancy & estrus can affect auscultation and echo results, so please plan accordingly.”$160 Echo -- $50
Auscultations 50% deposit to secure an appointment. Reservations and payment by July 10, 2013 for information contact: Karen Biles, Phone (281) 824-9540 or email DKLEEDANES@yahoo.com
