After a month of recording his pulse rate and breathing Kai went back to the Vet today, to see about his possible heart murmur. After a thorough examination he was given a clean bill of health! His pulse is nice and low, and there's no sign of a murmur at all. It was a different Vet, an older and more experienced one. She reckons that the problem was purely mechanical, brought on by him getting so worked up. A huge relief, we were so worried about him, for obvious reasons, so it is brilliant to know that our little man is as fit as a fiddle. The thought of him having something wrong with his heart didn't bear thinking about.
She also doesn't advocate castration other than for behavioral reasons, so unless he starts becoming a sex mad, 'hump everything in sight' type dog at 9 months or so Kai will escape the snip as well! Another small milestone happened yesterday. Kai cocked his leg for the first time whilst out on his walk. Shame I missed it, but Eric was very proud of him!
