Chance, my darling foster boy, is currently 2.5 months old. He was adopted by a family just yesterday, and they brought him to a vet to have him checked over.
He had been to vets prior to this for more obvious problems such as his flu and diarrhoea, and also for his vaccinations, so I guess the vets just concentrated on what he was brought in for and did not check for heart murmurs.
Anyway, I read from the internet that heart murmurs are sometimes present in kittens and disappear by the time they are 6 months old. I'm hoping this is the case for Chance.
Does anyone have cats with heart murmur, especially kittens, and can give me some advice or share some stories so I'll know how to advise the family?
