So we just passed our 2 year anniversary of first dose. She has been doing quite well up to the last few days when her usual tummy troubles cropped up. (chronic GI issue crops up every 4 or 5 months, treated with metronidizole typically resolves in couple of days) Anyway, brought her in for a check and to get her pills. Vet says she hears a grade 2 heart murmur. (Sya is 13 yrs 8 months). No other history of this. She questioned if I wanted to proceed to a cardiology referral right away. She also suggested that there could be thyroid issues cropping up that might be causing it. (though she has no hyper-T symptoms.). or it could be stress of the vet visit. We settled on bloodwork for Thyroid panel (figured can't hurt to check her current status on everything anyway and was feeling flush with my impending tax refund :lol: ...havent done so since the Fall) and will recheck her in a few months to see if we still hear things assuming nothing comes up on the bloodwork. Does it seem like a reasonable course of action? I mean I figure when I do her next dental its worth revisiting the cardioissue pre anasthesia, but beyond that , is it worth persuing more than just monitoring it?
