Brock’s owner brought him to see Dr. Chase because he’d been panting frequently and seemed a little lethargic. It didn’t seem like an emergency, but his owner just wanted to make sure Brock was OK. Turns out, Dr. Chase heard a heart murmur and suspected endocarditis. Endocarditis is a bacterial infection of the heart valve which can lead to heart failure. After finishing a week’s worth of antibiotics, Dr. Chase listened again and the heart murmur was gone! Brock is back to his normal self, and is happy his mom took him to Dr.Chase before his illness got too severe. Afterwards, Brock went to the groomer and is showing off his new mohawk in this picture!
