Interactions Between Allopathic Heart Meds and Herbal Supplements

Question
Hi. I have a 13 1/2 year old pug in CHF. She is currently on enalapril 2.5 mg BID, furosemide 12.5 mg BID, and pimobendan 2.5 mg BID. I am interested in adding dandelion and hawthorn supplements to her diet. My concern is potential interaction with the meds she's currently on. Are there any contraindications?

Thanks!

Answer
That one is for a qualified holistic vet to answer. I suggest that you research vets that are practicing herbal medicine. Dr Gerald Wessner is a homeopathic practitioner, but I am not sure how familiar he is with herbs.  His phone number is 352-245-2025.  Dr Joel Murphy in Palm Harbor, FL is an herbal practitioner plus he has a state of the art cardiology center so he may be the best one to call with this question. His number is 727-784-0558.

Hope this helps.
