My Dog Ito age 10 ½ Yrs has a murmur graded 3-4 and on medication, about three times a week Ito used to pass out, for the last three months Ito has improved it only happens one or two times a month, six months ago my vet wanted to put him to sleep and I am glad I didn't knowing how well he is.

A few days ago what worried me Ito started panting I thought it was the weather being to warm but I thought I'd better get him checked out, and to find Ito had a chest infection and has emphysema too! And started a course of antibiotics for a week now Ito is well again! And now back to his normal self very active running and playing.

So pleased that you dog is doing well now, Thea my TM had a heart memor for many years and lived to a great old age very happily.

i have a 3 year old border collie with a grade 5 murmur, so far it hasnt affected her in the slightest, she even qualified for crufts in junior agility a couple of weekends ago! i am really pleased with how well she is doing!

we only found out about the murmur at our yearly booster check up, that was last october, a year on, she still hasnt changed, although she is booked in to be spayed in november! thats scarey!
