Hi there, I have just returned from a vet visit with my ruby cavalier. This was a 6 month check up as my vet was not sure if he had heard a heart murmur at my dogs annual check up earlier in the year. Unfortunately my vet has today said that he can definitely hear a heart murmur and thinks its a grade 3. He has said that it sounds unusual as he can hear the murmur on both the left and the right side of my boys heart. Because of this he has said that he would like my dog to be referred to the royal veterinary collage for a more thorough heart examination. He has said that he is not sure whether it is a 'usual' cavalier murmur, or whether it is a congenital heart defect. I am so worried about what this may mean for my lovely little dog. I just wondered if anybody has had a similar experience to this? I am so worried about what this may mean for my very young dog. Thank you in advance x
