I hope the Vivitonin helps. When my old boy Josh was on it we used to call it his go faster medicine because it really helped him to be livelier and more aware and with it than he had been for sometime previously.

Happy Birthday for Thursday Charley :luv:

Hope the Vivitonin works for Charley, If it doesn't there are other similar meds available and also a special food which may help with his senility. Chester being a CKCS also had a heart problem and was put onto Vetmedin from when he was about 8 years old, it did wonders for him and stayed on it until we lost him at nearly 15. He took it along side the Vivitonin and when that didn't do anything for him we then tried him on Aktivait which did help.

Happy birthday to Charley for tomorrow. :luv:

I really of the medication helps Charley.  My Charlie was put on Vetmedin 2 years ago now for a grade 4 heart murmur he is doing really well on it at nearly 13y/o  Happy birthday to your Charley long may he prosper.

Charley started on Vivitonin on Tuesday evening after we returned from the vet's.  He seems a little improved, and wasn't pacing up and down the lounge as he usually does.

Interestingly, the information given with Vivitonin states that it increases the blood flow to the heart and skeletal muscle as well as to the brain.  It also reduces peripheral vascular resistance thus lowering cardiac load.  It also suggests that there should be a rationalisation of medicine for dogs already receiving treatment for congestive heart failure.

It is early days yet, but it would seem that Vivitonin will also treat his underlying heart problem.
