[quote=Anonymous]I went to Banfield for a scan of my dog's microchip and for a heartworm meds prescription renewal/fecal test.

The vet told me she heart a heart murmur. She ran through some options.

I was trying to follow. I have everything written down. She said my dog needed more tests/xrays for possible treatment/medication (not surgery). It sounded like this was something only a specialist vet could do, that not every vet office has the equipment to perform these types of tests/xrays.

Do I need to find a special vet that specializes in senior dogs or do most vets have the capability in office to do the testing/exams for treatment for a heart murmur?

I wanted to get my dog's medical records from my previous vet and find a vet's office. I'm treating this like it's an emergency. The vet said it may not be an emergency. That her dog has a heart murmur and the vet runs tests/exams every 6 months, no meds or treatment.

Does anyone know anything about this? Yes, I did a Google search. I know a heart murmur could be deadly or not. [/quote]
