Sharona- My blenheim boy came up with a heart murmur before he turned two. At the recommendation of a holistic vet (Dr. JoAnne Stefanatos in Las Vegas) I put him on CoQ10 - I think he was about five at the time. He is now 12-1/2 years old, and although his mumur has progressed to a grade IV/V, he is still symptomless, still playing catch, and as active as one would expect a boy his age to be. He still gets his 30 mg CoQ10 once a day.
By the way, several years ago, when I had him at his annual heart check with the cardiologist, I mentioned the CoQ10 to Dr. Michael Lesser. His reply was that, although there weren't any studies that he knew of proving its effectiveness, he had heard some good things about it and said it could not hurt. I now give it to my oldies (my 14-year old boy is still murmur-free, as is my 9-year old B&T boy); I also put anyone who comes up with a murmur on it.
