Chaplin has a heart murmur; Update #11

[Grace]

Our Duffy was diagnosed with a murmur about 6-7 years ago. He had a cardiac ultrasound to diagnose the type. Fortunately, it was the same type of murmur as the one I have. It's just there sometimes, and sometimes not.

Usually when he goes to the Vet and gets in a tizzy - then it shows up. If that is what Chaplin has, it will not be noticeable when he is under anesthesia for his neutering.

Keeping fingers crossed that he has the insignificant kind

That seems to be it. We had the one month recheck today. It only shows up with he is excited / nervous. We were in the exam room a while and he calmed down and it disappeared. So for now, we are not going to do anything about it.

He weighed 6 pounds today so he is right on target!

Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions!
