Maybe our resident dog experts can answer a general question for me?
We're getting a new Boston terrier puppy.
The vet today said the 8 week old puppy has a 1/6 juvenile heart murmur. "Which is nothing to worry about and will go away."
After having 3 Bostons, all 3 having one form or another of heart issue, I'm a little worried.
My question is: How accurate is that statement? Are there times when a juvenile heart murmur could become something worse in the future?
*Disclaimer: I understand it's usually impossible to answer these types of questions. I'm asking if anyone can answer in general using facts / experience and that this in no way applies to my specific dog lol.
Thanks a million!
