this is an amazing video thank you so much. i adopted a kitty 3 days ago and took him to the vet and said he has a level 6 heart murmer 😢 currently working on taking him to cardiolologist for echo cardiogram. im so nervous ):
My cat developed it half a year ago at the shelter, possibly from the stress. Getting a check up today. This video massively helped me understand what is going on and what might be the course of action if it has gotten worse. Thanks!
Heart scans are expensive £500 plus . After your pet gets one,it’s not going to make your pet better,it’s a lot of money for the same outcome...serious murmurs can be detected by stethoscope auscultation,by any competent vet..Remember,before the days of pet echocardiography,all murmurs were diagnosed by auscultation...it’s an expensive way of telling “yes,your pet has a murmur “,yet another rip off service from your vet !😡
Hi Kevin, the purpose of the echocardiogram is to determine the cause of the murmur and treatment options, not just to say "yes your pet has a murmur". Some heart conditions can be fully treated with the correct treatment plan, allowing pets to live a longer, healthier life that they may otherwise not have been able to. Please let us know if you need any further clarification. Have a lovely day, Team Ralph 🐾
