Re: Some bad news : (
ey now don't think like that! My Gizmo has a level 5 murmur and I believe the highest is level 6. The original vet said he could live for years or die next week (evil moo) and was more bothered about getting him neutured while saying knocking him out could kill him??!!
So we went elsewhere. The new vets were GREAT. The listened to his heart for 15 mins solid all angles. They told us about the independant cardioligist (cant spell) and the price was around £200 cheaper than the other vets said it would be for starters.
My boyfriend decided to get Gizmo scanned and the vets booked it all, got a cancellation so we were there the next day. An hour and a half drive like but still. So the scanned Gizmo and all sorts to get a complete picture of how his heart was functioning. He was a good boy too and didn't need sedating.
Anyway he has a small hole which causes the high pressure and so the swooshing rather than a beating noise from his heart but no medication or an op is needed nor would it be beneficial given his condition. We were told he is compensation very well and is fine. Just has an extra good listen at the vets when he has his check ups.
He even fathered 11 children (randy so and so but this was before we knew about his heart, we are not irresponsible, all the kids are clear).
So please do not worry, Gizmo is proof its not a disaster and each vet has different views so yours may be the more miserable one like we has at first!
