Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

No, I am afraid, an enlarged heart will not shrink, and there are also no medications that make it shrink again. However, if the heart is causing problems then your veterinarian can prescribe medications to help it with its job, ie increase the effectiveness of the beating of the heart, and thus lengthen her life ensuring a good quality of life.
