Hi,
Well, I know reading the internet can give you a million different types of responses but I decided to post here because this forum seems like its filled with great people and opinions. My cat is 8, and took him in for a routine checkup today and the vet told me right away he has a murmur, she rated it a 3 on a scale of 1-5 and suggested I have his heart put through tests and such. (Which I am). Hes always been extra scared and on edge of everything so that makes me even more nervous that he is so jumpy. I saved him off the street when he was 2 he had a serious problem with his paw and had glass in it. The Vet says he looks great and was acting fine, but she def. said to have him checked out. Im just so upset and nervous now that he will die out of nowhere like you hear or his life has been shortened alot now. Obviously whatever it takes I will do, but I know there is no cure of it and im just really sad. Also, now im tip toeing around the house not to make him jumpy or upset, but hes been like this for years. Its in my head alot now, and wondering if anyone can shed some light that has gone through this and will tell me its going to be ok.
I read that cats that have murmurs, cant even have teeth cleaned because of the unstability of the heart, so they need to check that out first. It is just scary, thats all.
Thanks in advance.
