- 6) While monitoring your pet with heart failure, the number of breaths per minute during sleep is a good way to determine if your pet is stable. Less than 30-40 breaths per minute are considered normal.
- 7) Abdominal circumference (at the umbilicus) and/or body weight measured multiple times during the week also can be used to determine if the pet is retaining fluid secondary to congestive heart failure.
