Fudge has a heart murmur

Fudge and Caramel went to the vet today for their annual vaccines and
checkup. Whilst checking Fudge, the vet discovered that she has a
heart murmur. She's never shown signs before (she's 8 and a half).

He has suggested that we take her for a blood test as it could be
thyroid related. If that is inconclusive we have the option of an
ultrasound at £500. We are going to get the blood test done first off
as if it is thyroid, it's treatable. She isn't showing any other signs
of heart problems - she is very active, eats plenty etc. If we have to
go for the ultrasound we'll have to hit my savings as Scott is
currently out of work, and I am on maternity, but she's worth it.

Please could you spare a few purrs that the blood test gives us some
answers and that the heart murmur isn't too serious.

Thanks,
Kate.

Loud, rumbly, vibrating, reassuring purrs for you and Scott and good
test result purrs for Fudge. Hopefully this will be something easily
diagnosed and treated.

Heave duty purrs on the way for Fudge!

Purrs that the blood test will be helpful. My Daisy was diagnosed
with a heart murmur recently. She was in for a check up and I was
going to have her teeth cleaned. They found the murmur. The next
step was a blood pressure check, a echo cardiogram, and an electro
cardiogram. Turns out that she only has a leaky mitral valve and can
go ahead and have her teeth cleaned. That will happen in Jan because
after paying for all the tests, I can't afford the cleaning until then.
Ah
well, at least it wasn't a serious problem.

Positive thoughts for an easy solution.

Lots of purrs for Fudge, £500 is a lot of money when you're on a limited
income.

I'm not really sure what I'm talking about here, but Jake has a heart murmur
and it doesn't seem to be that huge a deal. In his case as I understand it
his heart isn't beating as efficiently as it should. (He's just about eight
too). The vet didn't recommend any expensive tests or an ultrasound. He
did give us medication to give Jake for a month and we took him back for a
recheck. He seems to be doing a lot better on the medication. So much so
that if I notice he is more sluggish than usual, I also realize I've skipped
a few pills.

Before you spend £500 for an ultrasound, at least know what it will tell you
and how those answers will change treatments.
