Hi!
I was just hoping to have some positive stories about cats with heart murmurs.
My 5 year old kitty had her annual health last week and the vet informed me that they heard a heart murmur. She’s a very anxious cat and because of Covid I wasn’t able to be there like I usually am. She copes by burying her head into my chest and this calms her down! Now I obviously googled it and read lots about heart murmurs and how they can sometimes be known as innocent murmurs caused by stress and don’t have any impact on their health. Which obviously makes a lot of sense because like I said she’s very anxious and the time they find a murmur is the one time I’m not there. However, when the vet phoned me she was sure it wasn’t stress (something about the way it sounded?)
She’s booked in on the 3rd March for a heart scan and to see the specialist in cardiology. But as you can imagine I’m freaking out she’s the youngest of my cats and the one I never worry about. She’s such a sweet and mysterious character and I hate the thought of her losing her so young.
