Hi Wendy:
Good to hear from you. I also thought that perhaps there should be blood
drawn to get a baseline cbc to be able to watch for a trend, and I'm glad
you suggested it. Will keep everyone posted.

Subject: Cricket and heart murmur
Sandy,
My Cricket had a heart murmur when he was ill with
anemia as well. Other than the anemia, I don't think
that there were any other health problems going on
when the heart murmur was diagnosed (other than
dehydration/lack of food). Is your Cricket anemic? I
don't think that doctors freak out on heart murmurs.
Apparently, a lot of kitties have them in conjunction
with other health problems, and can live a long time
with them. My Julie has hyperthyroidism and also has
a heart murmur, which I am told will most likely go
away when we get her thyroid meds regulated. You
might check for that, but it sounds like your Cricket
might be too young to have that, although it has
happened in younger cats. Hope this helps and keep us
posted.
:)
Wendy
