I recently moved from NY to FL ( stupid move) and my 6 year old cat had an upper respitory infection. I brought him to a new vet and he treated the infection... at the same time however he claimed he heard a heart murmur and then said an x ray was in order to make sure the heart looked normal. I went for it. The heart was fine, however the vet said the murmur is probably due to hypertension. HE tested the cat's blood pressure and found it to be higher than normal....
Am I being taken for a ride here? Could my cat just have been nervous at a new vets office? I mean people have white coat hypertension, why couldn't cats?
