Sherry went to the vets today for the first time since I got her for a check up.
She has a heart murmur. I already knew she had one because the fosterer said the vets told her she had a very slight heart murmur when she went in for her vaccinations.
But my vet said that it isn't slight at all but in fact severe. His exact words were "oh my she has a stonker of a heart murmur" /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif
She doesn't have any of the symptoms associated with the condition at all so he said that nothing needs to be done as her body is coping with it very well.
Other than that she is very fit, good teeth, no signs of mammary tumours, eyes and ears all clear and normal pulse and temperature.
He said to carry on with the amount of exercise I am giving her because she needs to be physically strong for later on when presumable it will catch up with her. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif
I'm sad about this but at the same time happy knowing that no matter how long or short her time with me is at least she will be having a better life.
