Hi all,
I am very confused and disappointed. I have a 3.5 yo Sphynx. No health issues up to this point, have been using the same trustworthy vet for 6 years. Took my Stitch in to just do a quick skin check (he has been seen yearly by this vet), and the vet heard what he thinks is a heart murmur.
He did a chest x ray and 2 different cardiac blood tests.
All good except one aspect being high - his CK level. The vet explained it has to do with muscle - not necessarily heart but can be due to stress as well.
I am taking him in for a re -do next week to see if it goes down.
His breeder confirmed his parents never had any issues.
Anyone have any experience with any of this? Hope not but just figured maybe someone can enlighten me on this.
He acts fine - plays with his dog brother and very active and happy. I’m so confused!!
