Health: Heart problems


>My 10 year 11 month old bitch, Molly, went to the Vet today to have
an
>EKG and heart and lung x-ray done. No real symptoms other than I had
a
>"feeling" something was going on with her heart. She was diagnosed
>(pending cardiologist"s findings) with a "pronounced sinus
>arrhythmia". There is no treatment. She also has a slow heart rate.
>About 42 if I remember correctly. Now, as far as the slow heart rate
>is concerned, her rate has always been very slow. My Vet has remarked
>about it every time she has been in since I got her when she was 5
>years old. She has always been healthy. She is quite overweight at
111
>lbs. Her thyroid was tested recently and came back OK. She only gets
>about 1 cup of food a day, 1/2 cup dry and 1/2 cup of raw meat. I
also
>had blood drawn for a tick serology ll which will check for all 3
tick
>borne diseases. This may be a contributing factor. Can anyone give me
>a web site where I can get some more info on this problem? We are
>going to start walking again every day. Hopefully, this will help
>bring down her weight. I know I should have been doing the walking
all
>along but I'm on my feet and moving for the better part of 12 to 14
>hours per day as it is, so..... Anyone who can supply me with info on
>this problem I would appreciate it, and yes I will also appreciate
>homeopathic advice. After all, I was told there is no conventional
>treatment recommended! :-)
