Looking for advice not for me, but for a friend, all health test done on parents (cavaliers) one of the pups 6 weeks old having regular vet check, the vet has noww said he is not sure if there is a heart murmer or not there on one day 2 days later taken back cant hear it, what would your advice be in this situation.

I had a cavalier who's heart murmur was picked up by my vet at 8 weeks old, it was a low grade murmur and she never needed any treatment, she lived a full and healthy life until she went to the bridge at nearly 12 years old.

So as long as it's a low grade I wouldn't worry too much.

Was just reading about this very thing in this week's Dog World. Hope this link works:

That's not unusual in any breed of puppy TBH. If the vet cannot hear anything now then I wouldn't worry.

OT(but not really)the addition to the madhouse here will be touching down on 27th February. He's now over 3 pounds & looking really bonny.Not far away only a 386 mile round trip LOLOL
