So one of the girls has been diagnosed with a grade 3 heart murmur today.
We got up and she's hiding in the dig box, cold to touch and refusing all food.
Got her to the specialist at 9am and he's said gut still has sounds and there are pellets in there.
He did however also notice a heart murmur (3/5). This must've developed since her last vaccine 6 to 7 months ago as it's never been mentioned to us before.
Obviously I'm concerned about her as she's so quiet. We've got her on gut mobility meds and also antibiotics in case the murmer has been caused by a bacterial infection (more common in giants, but we want to cover all aspects).
If we get her eating again we will be doing diagnosis as Petplan should cover it.
However, what medications do they use in rabbits with heart murmur? (I know it depends on what issue is causing the murmur).
I know they use fortekor in dogs and cats to reduce strain on heart, is this an option in rabbits?
