Open Question: What effects does a heart murmur have on a dog?

September 24th, 2008 | by admin | Open Question: What effects does a heart murmur have on a dog?
I have a 6 1/2 year old pit bull and the Vet says he has a heart murmur. She says on a scale of 1-10 its about a 3-4 in severity, she says not to worry about it, just keep having them check on it when he goes to the vet. I was just wondering if there is any troubling behavior I should be looking for. Should I be careful not to over exercise him? I also noticed he may have gained a little bit of weight since we were last at the Vet about 4 weeks ago, is this something I should be worried about? Also are there any preventative measures I can take to avoid this heart murmur getting worse? Any helpful answers are appreciated.
