I am considering adopting a three-year-old female Bichon Frise named Tilly with a moderate heart murmur and a thyroid problem. She is on daily heart medication (atenolol) and thyroid medicine. The breeder, who is a friend, is asking for $2000. Should I proceed with this adoption, or is the heart murmur a significant concern?

My dog started having diarrhea this morning, which has turned completely liquid. He also vomited in his bed while I was at work. Could he have eaten anything unusual, like a toy with rubber that he was tearing apart and possibly eating? What should I do?
