First of all, I would like to say that I am new here, and I joined the board for kind of a weird reason... Without further ado here is that reason..
My dog Chloe was just diagnosed with a Grade III/IV systolic heart murmur, she also, has a small mitral valve regurgitation in her left valve...
Now here is the kicker...
She is a 18 month old GSD/Lab mix (from our best guesses ) and her cardioligist said that this type of problem and murmur was VERY unusual for her age and breed...
Well, I started reading about this on the internet, and every where I looked it said that this was most common with middle aged/senior small breed dogs, but CKCS tend to show this earlier than other small breeds...
^^ That what lead me to this forum...
So, I was just wondering if anyone could give me a general prognosis. or give my any advice or any experiences that they have had with this
Thanks for reading, sorry such a long post....
