Kitten Lung Fluid Kitten With Murmur?

Kitten with murmur? - kitten lung fluid

I took my kitten from 6 weeks to the emergency room because his breathing was shallow and was lethargic. They saw a level of 4.5 breathing and had fluid around the lungs. He was given oxygen for 6 hours and drank fluid.He looks better, he began to play and purr. They said I should you to sleep. What do you think? Any chance of recurrance?

These are questions that really should ask your veterinarian. Although a heart murmur is 4 / 5 very seriously, but there is no clue about the problem. The only way to know what to do with the heart of it, an ultrasound of the heart.
I Said I imagine that your kitten has a congenital heart condition, may or may not even be able to operate (with some risks) and the fluid in the lungs are very likely to occur again, because her kitten's heart is unable to do its job not right and will fail.
A sad story to go, please talk to their veterinarians and go from there. Best of luck.
