I rescued Riley from the local humane society. They did a full exam and x-rays but no genetic testing was performed.
They were honest in letting me know he has a heart murmur. Which is only at a grade 2 of 6. It may never affect him in anyway. But I've prepared myself for the long road with Riley and any medical bills that may come up.
I agree with Lesley's statement below:
"My thought was that if I'm going the "rescue" route, that I would take on any issues as they come. Its sort of a risk I guess, but it was important for me to adopt. Unless they were a surrender from a previous owner, they don't come with a health history and most times even their age is an estimate." |
