Learning Objectives:
- Review how to manage congestive heart failure in dogs and cats.
- Compare alternative diuretics and analyze how they can be used in patients that do not respond to furosemide.
- Develop the perfect heart failure discharge that sets your client, patient, and practice up for success.
