Heart Murmur

[Saltmoon 2,208]

Took my pup for his first man today and they gave him a little check over while I was there and turns out he's got a slight murmur has anyone else had this and has it effected there dogs in anyway? The vet tells me as it's slight it might go over a bit of time but not sure if this will effect him as a running dog.

Apparently many pups are born with a slight murmer. They grow out of it pretty quickly, and it does'nt affect them. My lad bought a pup exactly as you described, the f****r could run forever! On an ordinary walk I've never seen any dog cover so much ground at a canter almost every mile we walked. Lol I wouldn't worry unduly over it

As said seen few pups with it never bothered them when older atb

Ideal that's alright then the vet did say but to be honest I didn't trust her all the much so thought I'd just ask the question on here. Cheers for the replys lads

Had a pup years ago vet said same to me & put all sorts of worry in my head but as already said lots of pups have slight murmer but soon grow past it with no affects. Atb

A lot of pups have heart murmurs the vets like to make out it's something bigger than what it is ?
