 Murmer
My son has a murmer and a problem w/ his QT (heart wave problem) It affects nothing about his daily life. Now, if they said a "hole in his heart" that is a bigger deal than a murmer (even though essentially they are same things just a worse grade). With murmers, not all vets catch them just as not all docs catch them. I wouldn't go ballistic on this lady before you talk to her. It is very common for breeders to do their own vaccinations (especially one that has been doing it for an extended period of time). Emeraldshowqueen is right, taking to the vets early before shots risks many things. Before you freak out (I know w/ many docs can have a terrible bedside manner and scare you out of your mind instead of informing you appropriately), talk to her, tell her how you feel. My guess is she will work it out with you if she is a good person. Give her a chance BEFORE you threaten her. If you threaten first, you will get her hackles up and if she feels you are calling her a bad breeder and she isn't really, she will be less likely to work something out to your satisfaction. It will be more trouble for you in the end. Remember, people and pets w/ heart murmers live long full lives w/o additional high medical bills. |
