Question
Hi I recently bought an english bulldog that has a grade 1 heart murmur.Will he be ok.Do you think it will go away in time he is 11 weeks old.Also do you think I should nuerter him?Is that safe to do with a heart murmur?Thank you Michelle

Answer
Hi Michelle,  A grade 1 level heart murmur is very mild -  I would hold off on his neuter until he is at least 6-8 months of age.  Also, make sure you get a good Vet that knows how to put bullie breeds under anesthesia.  (* Many vets do NOT work on bullies)  - Shop around
Make sure this baby is on a good pup food ...
Also, you can start him now on the NuVET Plus wafer / JUST 1/2 per day - NuVET helps the build the immune system and strengthens.
