** Gerard has been diagnosed with a grade 2 heart murmur. Murmurs are graded by their intensity, usually on a scale of 1-6. A grade 2 heart murmur in dogs is a soft, low-grade murmur that is immediately audible to a veterinarian with a stethoscope but only heard in a specific area of the heart. At this time, he is not clinical and does not require any medications. This should be monitored by his primary care veterinarian.
** Gerard has been diagnosed with a grade 2 luxating patella of the right knee. This means it is possible for the kneecap to move in and out of the patellar groove. This is a common orthopedic issue in small breed dogs. At this time, it is not painful and does not cause any trouble. Some dogs will live with a low grade medial patellar luxation their entire life with no problems, however in some dogs it can be progressive and surgical intervention may become necessary.

Gerard has been working with a veterinarian who specializes in behavior for her fear of new people and situations. He was prescribed medication to assist with this as needed. The cost for 60 tablets is around $16.00. To continue this medication it is recommended that care be established with a primary vet.
Gerard is a quiet little gentleman learning that the world can be kind
