Hi everyone I’m new here and I’m desperately seeking some information or advice from anyone who’s had a similar encounter or just has any information they can provide.
My cat shadow is 4 years old and for the past 8 months he’s had a bad cough that lasts like 2-5 minutes. The cough is completely random and only happens every couple days or so. I took him for a checkup and the vet said he has a heart murmur. I showed her a video of my cat coughing and she said it wasn’t related to fur balls and that it might be asthma. She then recommended an X-ray so I had one administered. The results came back fine, the only thing strange was she said my cat has a small heart, smallest heart she’s ever seen on a cat At this point I’m extremely worried and she gives me the phone number to a cardiologist. I just called today and they want to charge me $675 for an ultra sound of his heart. Unfortunately I don’t have that kind of money. Is there anyone here at all who might have an idea as to what my cat has or if there’s any hope for him? He seems completely normal to me and happy. This is all just so very sad. I appreciate any help
