Because of his age she was talking of a heart scan too to see whether he could take the anesthetic :-0 |

She thought he had a murmur and I told her about a previous vet who said he had a murmur and after four other vets checked his heart they couldn't hear a murmur :-0 :-0 |

I was told Fly had a murmur :-0 The vet he's got now says he got the heart of an OX :-) |

If Ralph was a younger dog I wouldn't hesitate to have scans and procedures done but you have to be realistic that sadly he is a senior dog and can't live forever. He hates the Vets and if his quality of life is ok and he is not in any pain let things be <3 <3 |

One of the Vets said he had a murmur put him on expensive heart tablets, I took him back a few days later and a locum vet asked why he was on heart tablets and said he didn't have a murmur. I then complained and after the Practice wanted a second, third and fourth opinion all said he didn't have a murmur and they compensated me for all the visits and tablets :-| |

All of what you read in the press too about Vet Practices charging for this, that and the other makes you think twice too :-0 |

When Ralph had that operation in Dec 2020 they gave him 1-2 years, they said he should have a scan every six months and I thought why because I really didn't want to know as they had already said they didn't think doggie chemo would help :-0 |

Perhaps they are an independent rather than part of one of these big groups :-) Mine was a family owned practice but then they couldn't resist the temptation of the offer made by one of these big groups :-| |
