So sorry to hear that Sam has heart disease. I would recommend using an immune booster like Cell Advance. I don't know what you have available in Australia or if you can get that product over there. Here is a link to it: https://www.amazon.com/VetriScience-Advance-Canine-Formula-Capsules/dp/B01FWI6U6C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500432260&sr=8-1&keywords=cell+advance+dog+440 The other thing you can do is start an Omega fatty acid supplement. These fatty acids have protective properties and antioxidants that help the heart muscle. Here is product you can get in Australia: https://www.petbarn.com.au/dogs/dog-health-wellbeing/paw-dermega-3-6-oral-supplement-for-dogs-200ml I hope this helps. Best wishes to you and Sam.
