Causes of Canine Myocarditis and Prevention

Myocarditis is usually not very common in dogs on its own, but is usually secondary to some infectious disease, parasitic disease, poisoning, rheumatism, etc. It is a common heart disease in dogs and is characterised by increased myocardial excitability and reduced myocardial contractility. Many young dogs with microtia are at risk of developing myocarditis and death can occur very quickly, making it a disease that needs to be taken seriously.
