    Oh no, poor Beans! She looks like an absolute love! I sure hope it's not real serious and can be treated with meds. Good luck to her and you and please keep us updated.

    I love the pic of her on the fireplace mantle.

    Did your Vet bring up the possibility of Thyroid disease? All these symptons are consistent with a thyroid problem. When the Vet heard Duffy's murmer, the very first thing she did was a thyroid function test. Two of our cats in the past did have thyroid disease and the initial symptom was cardiac in nature.

    Once Duffy passed the blood test, he had a Cardiac Ultrasound. It took not more than 20 minutes, and the Cardiiologist gave us the all clear.

    Saying prayers for you and Bean.

    I'm sorry to hear about that.

    I hope the vet can give you some good news, and the murmur is low on the scale. Many cats (and humans) live long and full lives with murmurs. Hugs to you and Beans.

    A friend's cat, Nairobi, was diagnosed with a heart murmur many years ago. He was rescued as a kitten with his brother. He has gotten medication every day for the last six years and is now 12 years old. If it is treatable with medication it is also manageable.

    I don't know how I missed this! I'm so sorry to hear about Beans but from reading all the comments it sounds like it might not be anything to serious! I certainly hope not and we will be praying that all goes well.
    Keep us posted!

    Beans is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! She looks so sweet!
