Jasper had his heart scan yesterday and it confirmed what his vet thought the previous week when he had his ECG. On his discharge instructions it said and we were also spoken to by the vet and nurse that both his main valves on each side of the heart are distorted and leaking and this has caused blood to back up in the left atrium causing it to become distended, and the distended left atrial chamber is the source of the abnormal beats. He goes back in a months time, he still stays on the same medicine, the nurse was telling us that they have a lot of cavaliers like this and even far worse than Jasper have a good quality of life, they can see he enjoys life and just to carry on a normal, but she did say it was good that he has stayed nice and slim so we just have to hope and pray that it does not progress too quickly.
