John, I'm very sorry to hear about your piggie. Please don't blame yourself! I'm sure you did everything you could, and no one blames you for believing a vet - after all, they are supposed to be the experts right?!! That's why this forum is so great - we can all share information we learn as we go through different experiences with our piggies. Then others can learn from it and perhaps not make the same mistakes, or they know what to look for.

Piggersrule & thalestral thank you for the info on the meds and their cost/shelf life. Good things to know! Can you explain a bit more about the scale they rate heart murmurs on please? Obviously the lower the number the better right? But what is the highest (worst) number? How does that work? Thanks!
