I am so happy for you that MAX is OK, I know how it feels, I have had three Yorkies in all, and my oldest MAX had a grade 5 out of 6 murmur when he was 9 years old, and he lived with it until he was 11.5 years old. My second one Levi, had a grade 5 out of 6 mumur now as he too has heart failure. He is doing great on Medication.

When they are puppies it is apparently fairly common to hear mumours, even when they are older they can have many years of happy life, with treatment.

But for you - your little MAX is fine and that is the BEST news you can of had.

I was dreding it when I took Teddy (who was then 8 weeks) to the vet for a health check, I held my breath when she listened to his heart, and he is OK too.

Enjoy MAX he is a very special little boy who I know will bring you a lot of joy and happiness.
