My Vet Appointment Revealed A Slight Heart Murmur!

Today I had my annual Vet appointment with Dr Wray. I was so scared in the room (before Dr Wray came in) so I tried to hide under a pamphlet bin only to discover that I didn't fit *giggles* How silly of me to even think I'd fit under something so small? I actually decided to jump from the exam table onto the work table. Doc decided to only give me the Distemper shot since he doesn't like to give Rabies and Distemper booster at the same time. I'm scheduled to go back to see Doc in a month fur another exam and my Rabies shot. I now weigh a whopping 15.4 pounds at a year old!

As Dr Wray listened to my heart, mom could see some concern and she became purrry nervous. As he listened well, several times, he discovered that it sounds to be a slight Heart Murmur. He then proceeded to take a (Chest Radiograph) X-Ray of my heart & chest which showed no signs of fluids or enlargement at this time. He did explain that we won't know much until the actually Echocardiogram has been complete. Mom is taking me to see Dr. Miller (Angel Picasso & Cocoa's Cardiologist) on October 13th. Mom is so scared right now, especially because of it being my heart and how HCM tends to run greater in Ragdolls. She is trying to think positive but then again, it's hard fur her to do that. We lost my half brother, Picasso due to HCM and then the passing of Kashmere only 4 months later from a blood clot. My family has been through so much heartache, sorrow and pain and still has not accepted the passing of my siblings (Picasso & Kashmere). Now this... Please keep me in your purrrs & purrayers that everything will be ok and that it's just a slight Heart Murmur and nothing more. I was such a good boy when Doc carried me fur the. I was meowing a lot on the way to and from the vet but then again, I don't like the car ride to begin with. There is NO way in the cats that a meanie car can ever compare to my pawsome AT3 Stroller. Thanks again fur all of your prrrrs, purrayers and loving support to me and to my family.

UPDATE: I will be thanking each of you fur your lovely rosettes as soon as I get a chance... Time fur a nap since I had a tiresome day at the Vet.


Purrrrs!
