Amelia Z, I forgot to answer one of your questions. On 9/14, my dog is having what the vet called “a cardiac ultrasound.” I am hoping he means an echo. I think my vet is walking in extremely unfamiliar territory with all this talk of taurine deficiency-related DCM. By his own admission, he has never in 25 years had a taurine-deficient dog. Of course, it was I who insisted on the taurine test over his rancorous protestations, so I’m not sure he would have even been aware of the taurine deficiency in any dog in his practice. You know so much, and have experienced so much, and you are awesome!
