grade three heart murmur

• grade three heart murmur cindy w. Posted : 3/22/2006 9:01:38 PM Can someone please explain to me what problems occur with a grade 3 heart murmur. I know a breeder that I was interested in one of her corgi babies but one of the two that are avail. has the murmur. She said the vet has checked the pup twice and said he should do fine. Any advise is welcome... LIKE 1 REPLY 385 VIEWS LAST POST GRAB01 Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• grab01 Posted : 3/22/2006 9:12:43 PM No expert, but heart murmurs are graded 1-6, with 6 being most severe. The presense of a murmur would, I assume, indicate that there's a heart defect there. It would require a trip to a veterinary cardiologist to see exactly what defect is present.  Is it possible that it won't cause him problems for some time? Sure.  But unless one knows what heart issue is there, it can't be said for sure. He may live for years, or it could progress quickly     0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
