Hi there,
I have a 9 week yearold English Bulldog (Dexter) and we have recently taken him for his second vaccination at the vet.
Unfortunately the vet believes he has a heart murmur and suggests getting a scan to determine the cause etc.
I have been researching and it appears that the is different grades/levels of a heart murmur - is this something the vet should be able to advise? We are not hugely confident the vet knew what he was talking about or cared about Dexter - we were the last appointment of the day. It felt the scan would be the easy option for the vet.
Dexter seems to be healthy and acting like a normal puppy would, lots of energy, good weight, eating well, not short of breath etc.
Has anyone had experience with this and what would you recommend?
Cheers
