Hello to Everyone:
This is my first post and I am hoping to get some support and help with a very difficult situation.
I just bought a beautiful Persian Kitten. We went to the Vet and the Vet found a hole in his heart, or Heart Murmer.
Needless to say I was devistated, I could not even breathe it was so heartbreaking. I immediately called my Breeder to let her know. She told me not to worry, this type of thing is common and the kitten may outgrow it. If anything happens she will replace him.
I was able to calm down and started my research hunt. It is difficult to obtain information on this subject. I have been told by the Vet and other Breeders this kitten will have health problems, possibly a shortened lifespan etc. I cannot afford large vet bills and have really gone out on a limb to purchase him, working overtime, saving my pennies.
Right now I am lost, I cannot afford the cardiologist bills.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation or have any suggestions good and bad.
Every time I look at this kitten I start to worry and cry thinking he will not be with us and it is affecting my bonding.
