Hi all! This is our first post ("we" being Thelma, Louise, 1 and 1/2 year
old females, and I, 22 year old female).
I've enjoyed the FML for several weeks now, and have learned a lot! (Mostly
how ignorant I was when I first bought the girls.)
Now I need some advice. Louise went into heat last summer, even though she
was supposed to be neutered. I've been seeing a good vet who seems to know
his stuff, and he recommends exploratory surgery to look for remnants of
ovarian tissue. This sounds good to me, since I don't want the Little One
to die of anemia this summer. However, I thought a second opinion via the
FML would really put my mind at rest.
Also, the vet found a *small* heart murmur. He said it wouldn't cause a
problem with the anasthesia (yes, he uses isoflurane), but he wants to check
the size of her heart (with an x-ray) b/c of possible cardiomyopathy. It
seemed to me he was just making sure, and it wasn't a real probability. Do
I need to worry?
