Question:

: I recently took my three year old JRT, Kassie to the vet and he reconfirmed that she has a heart murmur. What is this exactly and how will it affect my dog?

Hi Allison,
This is something that you need to ask your Vet and since I didn't examine your dog, I really can't tell you,much of anything. You are paying your Vet to tell you these kinds of thing and give him a call and I am sure that he will be able to answer your questions and concerns. Beleive me when I say I do, if I don't understand something and I have to remember that I am paying them for their knowedge and expertise.
I am sorry to her about your pet, and I hope everything works out well.
Regards
Linda
