Sorry, I just saw this message. Thank you for sending this, it makes me feel better to know that others with dogs that have similar conditions are doing well. When I was younger my family dane passed away suddenly from DCM when he was 2, so this disease really scares me.
I'll have to recheck her holter report, but I don't think there were any VPBs. She hasn't had her thyroid checked, I discussed it with my vet (who breeds dobermans) when we got the holter results and she said she didn't think it was necessary since she didn't look like a dog with thyroid problems (shiny coat that was growing back nicely from the shaved holter areas). I plan to run a thyroid test when she has her annual checkup, or if her next holter results are also very extreme. The cardiologist and my vet wanted me to redo the holter 6 months from the last one, so January.
