Heart murmur??
by LisaLuke, Apr 20, 2007 12:00AM
I took my cat to the vets today for his annual booster vaccinations and a general checkup. The vet noticed that he has a heart murmur and that he needs to go for an ultrasound. Can anyone tell me if having a murmur will affect the quality of his life. He is only 4 yrs old and is a lively and loving cat. I'm so worried about him. Is a heart murmur a very serious problem?

it can be. usually they will place the cat on a blood thinner of some sort.

Did you vet grade the murmur? It can mean begining sighs of a heart condition, or nothing at all.

Thanks for your comments. No the vet just said it sounded as though he had a slight heart murmur, she also said it could be a stress murmur. We were advised to go and get a heart ultrasound done.
