Heart Murmur in 7 week pup
« on: June 24, 2010, 04:23:39 PM »
Had the pups at the vets today for a thorough check over in preparation for going to their new homes in just over a week.
Everything was generally good, only thing of note being that one of the pups has a mild heart murmur - it was the heart specialist we saw and she described it as a Grade 2 innocent, left sided systolic murmur.
I know that murmurs are fairly common in pups this age, many disappear and at Grade 2 this pup is unlikely to have any ill effects. But just wondering how the more experienced breeders would explain this to the pup's owner. I want to be clear and honest without causing them unnecessary worry and doubt.
