Hi Kelly,

Yes I'm afraid Benji is the one. I'm waiting to speak to his new slave to see what she wants to do.

Re: Heart murmur

Does anyone know of a vet in the Essex area that does Cardiac Ultrasound on cats?

Re: Heart murmur

Is your current vet able to recommend any Fiona?

Unfortunately not, we're seeing him again this evening but he wants to send me to Potters Bar and I can't do that as I'm going away for a month on Saturday and there's no way I could get there tomorrow.

Re: Heart murmur

Try Yell.com there are loads of vets in Essex and they give a brief overview of the services they provide beside them. The first one I came across that looked useful was Petkind Veterinary Centre in Tilbury - they have ECG and ultra sound facilities, but it depends on where in Essex you live, you would have to go down the list.

Re: Heart murmur

Thanks, Yell was quite useful.

We've just been to the vets again to see the senior consultant and he rates the murmur as somewhere between 2 and 5 but couldn't be more accurate.

We've now got to discuss with the person who has bought him what she wants to do but the vet said that if we kept him as a pet he didn't think that there would be any serious issues.

Re: Heart murmur

Just rated this as a good thread.
We've just had our first heart murmur confirmed at the nine week point so I wanted to seek advice, and found this thread useful.

We were going to wait until the 12 week point to see if there's any change - is it likely to change much in three weeks? I have noticed that this kitty has recovered much more slowly from her nine week injections than the others, which is worrying. She was reserved at two weeks, so I don't know whether to tell the owners at this point, or further on.

Any advice?

Re: Heart murmur

Savannah, did the vet say what grade ? I had some in last years litter that had grade 2 murmurs. They were still there but not as bad at 12 weeks, I told the new owners who were fine about it. They did go a few months after.
