Thread: Hcm/chf

Our kitten was neutered yesterday, and the vet said while doing the procedure the heart monitor was beeping- she said it had to do with the left ventricle and wants us to take him to a cardiologist for screening. Bought him from a breeder says the parents have been echo checked and are hcm negative. Is the monitor they use for neutering a reliable indicator?

hey Paxton, I am sorry, I know how it feels to worry and not know what to do - we have a few people here who would probably know better than me if those monitors are reliable or not, but I would still take him to the cardiologist just in case - hopefully it's nothing but you don't want to regret not doing it...
