Heart Murmur

I took my small dog, Moo Goo Gai Pan, to the vet & found out that he has a heart murmur.  Because my vet does not have a cardiologist, I have to go to the next town over to see a specialist, to find out the extend of the murmur.  As the vet explained to me, there are 6 different levels, with 6 being the highest.  She has placed his murmur at a level 2.

In addition, he needs to have his teeth cleaned, by way of anesthesia.  However, I cannot have the teeth cleaning done, until the heart murmur is taken care of, in case the meds for the teeth cleaning affect his heart.

The downside is I have to wait until I save the $500 to visit the cardiologist.
