She does have a grade 2 heart murmur that will need to be monitor with your vet. What is a heart murmur? A heart murmur is an abnormal sound heard when listening to a heartbeat with a stethoscope. Normally, two distinct sounds are heard when listening to the heart of a normal dog or cat. These are often described as lub and dub. Murmurs most commonly occur between the lub and the dub and have a shooshing or whooshing quality. What does it mean for the animals health? It's difficult to say by just hearing a murmur, as it's only a hint that something may be wrong, not a final diagnosis. Hearing a murmur is reason to consider more discussion and tests to determine the cause of the murmur. Knowing the diagnosis and severity of the cause of the murmur allows your veterinarian to provide you with a prognosis regarding how this heart problem may affect your pet in the future. Hearing a murmur is not a reason to panic. Many dogs and cats with murmurs live normal lives and never need any treatment for heart disease. But the only way to know for certain is to work with your veterinarian to determine the cause, and severity of the cause, of the murmur. No diagnostics other than a physical exam have been performed on this animal, and it's the adopters responsibility to follow-up with their Veterinarian regarding any further diagnostics. This animal has been deemed apparently healthy, and the murmur does not appear to be a serious health risk. What is a benign or innocent murmur? Some heart murmurs are called benign (or innocent), meaning there is no apparent heart disease that explains the murmur. These murmurs are often seen in puppies, and can occur in cats of any age. They are uncommon in adult dogs. Benign murmurs are usually soft and can be intermittent. Benign puppy murmurs will generally disappear by 12 to 15 weeks of age. Murmurs associated with anemia or excitement are also considered benign murmurs. How is a murmur treated? The murmur itself is not treated. The underlying cause of the murmur may or may not be treated - this depends on the cause, severity, and other circumstances (age, well-being of the pet, cost of treatment etc). Your veterinarian is best suited to discuss specific treatment options with you. The shelter provides a 5-day health guarantee for adopted animals.
