6 year old male cat: I took my cat in for annual exam and vaccines. The vet detected a heart murmur when he listened to his heart. Took X-ray and said cat has enlarged heart and fluid build up. His vertebral heart score is 8.5, I read where 6.7 to 8.1 is normal for a cat. Vet said to try him on Pimobendan Compound liquid 1.25 mg twice daily. See if that helps and to also schedule an Echocardiogram to get a better reading of his heart.
I've read good and bad about this medication and thinking about getting a second opinion from another vet. He shows no signs of anything wrong and acts like a normal cat.
Has anyone ever tried this medication?
