We also had that diagnosed in our golden retriever recently. Diagnosed as a grade 2. She had an echocardiogram that found a slight narrowing in a heart vessel.

Hi thanks for your response and sorry your retriever has such a condition.
We just got our Shitzu (Pasqually) back from the vet today where hes been treated for an abscess on his leg.

We have also read positive reviews on Taurine. Thanks
So unsure at this time, affordability for one.
