I saw you with your two adorable maltese and thought you might could help me.

I took my 10 1/2 year old maltese to the vet today and was told he had a heart murmur.  This is all very new to me. Do you know if this is something common in the breed? 

The vet suggested I take him to a cardiologist because he goes to vet on a regular basis and they have never heard before, it is large.

Are you saying they are flat and dark like human moles? Or are they flesh-colored little nodules that grow larger over time?

My maltese keeps getting moles,and i have had some removed,but it is very expensive because of the blood work,anesteshia,and the removing of the moles.Is there anything i can put on the moles to remove them,or anything i can give him to stop them from reacurring?
