Open Question: Heart Murmur in 7 yr old mixed breed?
My 7 y/o chihuahua, dachshund mix just had her annual shots today, and a check up.
The vet that saw her (her regular vet was not there today) said she heard a slight murmur. She told us dogs her age don’t usually have this (too young for it) and was only slightly concerned. she said that we should monitor her. if she has a change in behavior, acts lethargic or shows signs of stress on our walks to bring her back in for further examination.
I’m worried to death now. What does this mean for her? What are some more defined things i should look for? She’s such a sweet dog, loves everyone and is so gentle with even the smallest child…i just can’t bare the thought of her having a serious condition that may lead to her early death or disability. she was a pound puppy, slotted for euthanasia the day we adopted her. she’s been such a wonderful pet, and friend to my 3 other dogs and my 4 children.
Can anyone give me more information about this?
Thank you.
