USE CAUTION! Don't jump to conclusions.
Remember that one vet thought that there may be cardiomyopathy.
NOTHING will clear up cardiomyopathy. It is a a progressive
condition that happens because too much damage exists. Luckily,
there are meds which can help the ferret a lot.
Your materials also did not say what grade the murmur is or was.
If the only heart problem was a low grade temporary murmur then
it could be gone BUT THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IS FOR THE TREATING
VET TO CHECK now that the anemia is gone, but don't check only
for the murmur since the possibility of cardiomyopathy has been
suggested by a treating vet for this ferret.
The ONLY way for you to know is to have testing done, and for
Nic Nac a chest ultrasound really makes sense it seems to me.
If Nic has cardiomyopathy you want to start treating as soon as
possible.
