That does suck. Is there a treatment?

re: #382 Rightwingconspirator

It’s a common thing in cats. It depends what the source is whether or not it’s treatable. It might be hypertension, it might be enlargement of the heart.

Little dude hates taking pills with a passion, though.

With animals, it’s such a different analysis about whether to treat or not, because it’s a quality of life issue. The heart murmur doesn’t cause him pain or otherwise affect him right now; it might cause a crisis later. Is it worthwhile to give him pills, which he hates and gags on and sulks for hours after you give him them, to prevent a potential crisis?

We’ll have to think on it. Poor little dude. He’s in the catnip now, his reward for a vet visit.
