Hi all,
I'm new here but I just want to know if anyone else has experiences what I'm going through.
We took our 11 week old kitten (coming up 12 weeks) to the vets last weekend. We went for a general check up and vaccinations. While we were there we were told the kitten (Mowgli) has a heart gallop and it's the worst case she's seen. She recommended a heart scan to see what's going on.
He has his scan booked on for 9th May and I'm terrified - during the check up the vet said that he wouldn't need to be put to sleep "yet"... I'm distraught. He's just a baby. I don't know what to expect on Monday.
Mowgli himself just acts like a normal kitten. He eats, drinks, poops and plays! He chases my other two up and down the stairs - you wouldn't have thought a kitten with a possible heart problem would act like this, so you can see why I'm struggling to come to terms with this.
Has anyone else experienced a kitten having a heart gallop before?
