As the title says really, found during a routine vet check. I'm looking for some sighthound people/vets/anyone to talk me through this a bit, and stop me fussing too much!
Whippet is 9 years old, so something like this is to be expected. I'm aware it needs more investigation and scans etc.
I haven't noticed anything like coughing, exercise intolerance and he looks just fine. There is the very minor chance of low taurine I suppose, as his regular food has whole peas, but he gets so many different snacks and chews, I'd be surprised.
After a brief and ill-advised Google search, it seems murmurs in whippets are well recognised, and in some cases related to 'athletic heart', and also easily misdiagnosed
Thanks for any advice in advance!
