Thanks for your question! I understand your concern about your cat being on Atenolol for a Level 2 heart murmur. Let me break it down for you. A heart murmur is an abnormal sound heard when blood is not flowing smoothly through the heart. This can be a sign of an underlying heart condition. A Level 2 murmur is quite mild but could indicate issues like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, especially in cats.
Atenolol is a medication often used to treat heart problems. It works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the heart's workload, which can be beneficial if your cat’s overall cardiac health needs support. Whether Atenolol is necessary can depend on additional factors like your cat's age, symptoms, and overall health.
While at home, ensure your cat isn't over-exerting itself and monitor for any signs of breathing difficulties, lethargy, or changes in eating habits. These could suggest a more serious issue and would require immediate attention. Regular check-ups can help ensure the medication is working as intended.
For personalized advice tailored to your cat's specific needs, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They can provide more detailed guidance after reviewing your cat's health records.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
