Hello, I am new to this forum, I was just told my 16 weeek himalayan has 3 or 4 out of 6 heart murmur. I am devistated in tears. I have 7 children who absolutly LOVE this kitten and so do I, but to have all these tests is not an option, I don't have that kind of money. The vet told me to take him and exchange him with the breeder- not that the breeder wouldn't- but he has already said he would put the cat down... Is my kitty certian to die either way? If I can't get the tests etc done?? The vet said I would have to always be looking over my shoulder worrying...
I took the kitten to the hospital when he was 8 weeks old-they NEVER said a word about the murmur- I took him back there again and asked for the papers to show they didn't mention it- and they said sometimes these things just appear. The vet said it was always there from birth... I really have NO idea what to do.. I love the cat- but to know in my heart he will or could die at any moment tears me up. This seems like a no win situation -is there ANY Way he could get better on his own???? please tell me there is......
