Meet Stewie, our Pet of the Week from the Vanderburgh Humane Society!
Stewie has a bit of a sad backstory, according to Amanda with the VHS, 10-year-old Stewie was rescued from living primarily in a basement. Like the rest of us, Stewie isn t immune the aches and pains getting older brings. He does have a grade 4 heart murmur, which the American Kennel Club (AKC) classifies as a disturbance in the flow of blood from the heart that creates an audible noise, called a murmur, that is distinguishable from a regular heartbeat with a stethoscope. Murmurs are classified by a one through six grading scale based on the noise the heart makes. According to the AKC, a grade 4 murmur, like Stewie s, means his murmur is loud and can be heard on either side of the chest.
