Heart murmur in young mini

[moustibo]

Hi all,

our little mini boy, one year old, was recently diagnosed with a grade 3 heart murmur. Since he's probably too old for the 'innocent' type of murmur occasionally seen in puppies, and the murmur was never heard before in any check up, it's more likely to be serious. He's not showing any symptoms though - highly active (sometimes a little too much!). Also very tall for a MS and of healthy weight.

We booked him hin for a thorough scan at once, so we'll have a detailed diagnosis soon, but I was just wondering if anyone had a similar experience to share.

Thanks,
Moustibo

Hi my (mini)Molly had a similar murmur to yours and it was identified when she was very young the same as you, Molly got to a grand old age of 15 1/2 and the Murmur never gave her any issues.
That is from my experience anyway.

Hi,
Many thanks for sharing! Happy to hear that your MS lived a happy life even with a heart murmur - that is encouraging.
Cheers, Moustibo
