Sad about report from the vet

This is the time of year when my three Cavaliers go to the vet for exams and shots and whatever else comes up.  I pay for the vets' kids summer camp fees, I think.

Well, Karm is 9+ and has had a heart murmur that been rated at a 2 for the last few years.  Now it's a grade 4.  Though she needs a dental cleaning, they don't want to anesthetize her until she's had a cardiac workup.  We knew it would get worse but it was hard hearing it from the vet.  She's a happy dog though deaf as a stone.  She zips upstairs when it's time to go to bed like she's still a puppy and generally seems okay.  But now I have to monitor her respiration and check her for swelling more often in her legs and abdomen.  

Here's hoping she still has some good time left in her.  I think I will know when it's time to make a decision, if it comes to that.

Keep yer chin up, luv - vets don't know everything. We once had a cat with a cancerous hip tumor. The vet advised against surgery, since she didn't think Gobbler would live more than three or four months at best. Went ahead with the surgery, Gobbler was with us for another six years.
