[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My vet says my dog has a murmur and they can't always hear it. I don't think it's as straight forward to diagnose. [/quote] Definitely true, heart murmurs can be hard to detect and hard to hear even if you know they're there. Our cat has a history of a mild one but they also can come & go depending on stress, etc., I'm told. The last 2 visits the vet has reported (good) no detection of the murmur. Also had a previously undetected murmur in a previous cat, they can be tricky. Dental cleaning is, unfortunately, somewhat important since too much buildup can lead to bacteria etc. that can get in the system and affect the heart, for example (like people). I hate doing the anesthesia, too, the only good news is that it is much more controllable and generally with less risk and fewer side effects than even 10 yrs. ago. [/quote]
