Default Heart Murmur

[/B]Has anyone had a yorkie with a heart murmur? My Holly's heart murmur was discovered just over 2 years ago, she is 16 now. She is collapsing quite a lot, its just a brief collapse then she gets herself back up. We told the vet about this but he didn't seem too concerned, saying it was just something to do with her heart missing a beat type of thing and making her go into a faint, so she sort of has a quick faint then rights herself. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this with their yorkie. She is also incontinent, she has been this way since about 5 years of age, apparently due to her being spayed and losing control of her muscles, she takes Incurin for this and it works a treat. She was previously on Propalin Syrup but she had been on it for so many years it had stopped working, and it was giving her dizzy spells. She is also going blind, it doesnt bother her so much when she is in the house, but when she is in the garden and the sun is shining it affects her eyesight badly. So now when she goes into the garden on a sunny day and the sun hits her eyes she gets a fright and this affects her heart and she collapses.....Im always there to help her though. We call her the Grandma!
