He Needs a Few More Tests
Update posted 3 months ago
Initial tests revealed that Shai has a very enlarged heart and potentially significant heart disease. The vet has recommended additional tests to determine the severity and if anything can be done to help ease his symptoms.
Shai's fosters noticed his breathing seemed quicker than his sibling's even when he was resting. Something was definitely amiss. We got Shai into the vet where they determined Shai has a severe heart murmur. What we don't know is whether this is a benign heart murmur or something being caused by a defect or disease. Shai is just a kitten and still needs to be neutered so we need to get an echocardiogram to see what this means for his health and if he can undergo surgery.
