Heart murmur ultrasound

[TigerLilly]

I have had the vet out for a mini health check on my boy and it seems that his heart murmur has got worse and has been graded to a 3-4 he has said it needs to be looked at by a specialist so i have one coming out this week to give him a ultrasound to let me know how bad it is and if i need to retire him etc i was wandering if anyone has has this done and could let me know there experiances please thanks

Mine has a heart murmur he is now 30! He has lead a normal life ( show jumped, pony clubbed ect) Obviously not as bad as yours? Have had him 25 years and he has lead a normal life ( vet said to carry on as normal but would not pass as sound if I ever sold him, luckily I never felt the need! Still going strong!! ) Good luck with yours

I feel upset about it because if he has to retire i know he wont be happy cause he loves his work so much and hes only 16
