Hi everyone. I just got a call from my vet and he was strongly recommending this ultrasound. They will be having a specialist coming into their office to do this just for me, so they are supposed to call me when they get in touch with this other vet. They are going to give this to me at cost, which is really nice. The office really liked me when I worked there and I'm still maintaining their website, so he wanted to give me this price break.
He said that the murmur was a grade 3 out of 6. Jen, what's your take on this?
The doctor said that everything else seemed normal, the lungs were clear, no signs of anemia or anything else from the blood test, so he wants to cover all bases. I'm still really nervous about this because I know my vet wouldn't recommend something that isn't necessary. Especially since he's become sort of a personal friend of mine. I hope it's not anything serious, and if I need to give meds to help Marius out, that's fine with me. The doctor is thinking that it may be some thickening of the heart muscle or some trouble with the valve, so that's what this ultrasound should help identify.
Please send along some prayers for Marius that he's ok.
Thank you
**hugs**
Karen
