What should I do with a kitten with a grade 4 or 5 heart murmur and what could happen to her?
I would keep taking her to the vet for reassessment every 3-4 weeks until she is at least 6 months old. Sometimes kittens have murmurs when they are young, but as they get older the murmur disappears or becomes much less severe.
A Grade IV or V heart murmur is pretty serious - it's loud and generally means there is a functional problem with the heart. If it doesn't get better with age, I would suggest having a full cardiologic work-up done, including EKG and an ultrasound of the heart. This will give you a much better idea of what is causing the murmur and what the potential outcomes of the murmur are.
