    An old dog was experiencing edema due to heart failure. Edema can be temporary or permanent depending on the underlying cause. For chronic heart failure in dogs, treatment involves managing coronary artery disease, monitoring weight and controlling fluid and salt intake. More severe edema may be treated with diuretic drugs to help the body remove excess fluid through urination while also addressing the specific underlying cause.

    Old dog with heart failure


    How is edema treated?
    • Edema can be temporary or permanent, depending on its
    cause. Edema is treated according to the condition that is
    causing it.
    • For patients with chronic heart failure, treating coronary artery
    disease; monitoring weight, fluid, and salt intake.
    • Mild edema usually goes away on its own.
    • More-severe edema may be treated with drugs that help your
    body expel excess fluid in the form of urine (diuretics).
    • To correct the specific cause.
