I had a baby with a ruptured cordae tendonae....severe valve issue caused by a broken "cord" that supports a heart valve basically.....and it is lethal....my vet put my little girl on Lasix and Vasotec and something else, that strengthened and slowed her heart rate, and increased its efficiency and cardiac output/stroke volume.......old woman memory issue.....and we slowed down on any strenuous activity....and with collateral circulation and whatever, my little lady lived an additional 8-9 years....and after about 1.5 years on her meds, and close supervision, she was able to get off the Vasotec, and we cut down the Lasix to 3 times a week....

With the proper treatment from a competent specialized vet, your baby's outcome is greatly enhanced.... take her to a specialist, or a vet school, and get specialized eyes on her....this can improve her chances of adapting or even overcoming her issue....that is the very best you can do for her, and regardless of what the outcome is, you can know in your heart and mind that you provided her the very best chance at an improved outcome......keep us posted.
