Dear Czadna, Heart murmur can be, as they have already told you, a consequence of a cardiomyopathy. But it can also be because the kitty is anemic (no cardiomyopathy)... So, please don't panic and take your kitty to a cardiologist first.. Do not administer any heart drug without a cardiologist opinion first. For a diagnose the vet needs an echocardiogram, xrays and electrocardiogram studies.
If you choose to administer CoQ10 as someone suggested, please take into account that you have to administer this drug forever, because it aids the heart muscle to work, and it cannot be stopped afterwards. My advice would be to visit a cardiologist and to join the Feline Heart mailing list: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/feline-heart/ Best wishes to you and your kitty, Ana
