Hello, my name is Casper. I’m 1 year old, I’m energetic, and I love to play. My veterinarian recently discovered heart murmurs. For those of you who don’t know, a heart murmur is one of several types of abnormal sounds a veterinarian can hear when listening to your pet's heartbeat. What causes a heart murmur? Turbulent blood flow. Some heart murmurs are called benign, meaning there is no apparent heart disease that explains the murmur. These murmurs are often seen in puppies and kittens of any age. The cause of a cat's murmur cannot usually be determined by listening alone. In many cats, benign murmurs can sound exactly like murmurs in a cat with serious heart disease, and only an echocardiogram can differentiate the two. In both dogs and cats, your veterinarian may elect to perform chest radiographs, an echocardiogram, or other imaging studies.

To get an exam, x-ray, three full views, x-ray review by a specialist, antech-routine screening (ECG), and blood pressure checking comes out to a total of $673.35. I hope you can help me and reach the goal for my dream wellness.
