Can heart worms cause heart murmurs in dogs?

Give her 30 mg of CoQ10, mixed with 200 to 300mg WILD salmon oil, and 1/8 tsp of taurine daily. Every other day, along with the above, give her a few chicken hearts alternating with 100 iu of Vitamin E. I just give the first 3 ingredients on Sunday to make things easier.

You can either cook the hearts or give them raw. I am not a fan of raw, so I boil the hearts. I portion out a week's worth and freeze the rest with a portion of the liquid, which I put on the evening meal on Friday, something my dogs and cat love. It's good as a preventative measure, and it works well with a dog whose heart is already compromised.
Which meds are you giving her? My male Cavalier has been on Vetmedin for 2 months, and he is doing a lot better. He had a sudden onset of MVD at the age of 8.5.

John, You may have found an answer by now, but I would check with your vet and ask him if you can use an alternative human medication and buy it at Walmart for 4 dollars a prescription.

Can you help me.
Over the last three weeks, my dog walks towards me as she is drunk and then either lays down or sits.
After a minute or less she's fine. ????
Took her to a Vet, they said she has a Heart Murmur and would have to give tablets everyday for rest of her life.
Going to cost approx. $ 17.50 per week. Would this be correct.
Is there another way around this cost.
Please can you Help me – Love my dog. Border collie cross blue healer. 30 kg. 10 years old
