I have a 7 month old cat who has only been in brief contact with other cats totally supervised. He has a pinkish bump at base of ear on back the looks like swollen skin and it somewhat firm to the touch. No scratch marks or puncture marks and no oozing or scabbing. I only noticed it today and if...

Well the vet didnt hear a heart murmur on Rosco and he had no other symptoms but because we lost two cats to sudden heart failure we did the bnp blood test so I am really hoping he isnt going to get a bad diagnoses or die of heart failure any time soon. I would be thrilled if he lived to 11...

The vet is the one who said to get the echocardiogram because of his high result on the cardiobnp test. The test shows the amount of protein in the blood that is created when the heart muscles expand and can indicate heart disease. I am hoping its nothing because he has no other symptoms but I...

Did you ever get his echo? My 5 yr old has a cardiobnp of 683 and has echo scheduled for 7 weeks from now but no other symptoms.

How did the echo come out? My 5 yr old just had a cardiobnp test result of 683 and has a echo in like 7 weeks. I am worried about what they will find even though he seems healthy.

What was the BNP level and how did the appointment go with the ultrasound? My 5 year old cat just had a cardio bnp of 683 but no other symptoms and seems healthy but has an echo cardiograph on jan 17th. I am afraid they will say he has heart disease and wont live long despite him seeming healthy.

He already knows the aunt and because he isnt free roaming through the whole house yet it will be very similar to his normal days.

I know the food, water, litter and all essentials will be perfect, and he will have toys and nothing that can hurt him. I am just making sure that he wont get lonely or depressed or anxious. Anything else I can do to help? He has 2 windows he can get up to and look out but are closed.

We have a kitten who is almost 6 months old now and we are leaving for vacation saturday for a week. We have 3 other cats but they are locked away from him but they can hear each other and know each other are there. Twice a day our aunt is going to go and play with him and make sure he has fresh...

We just got him 2 weeks ago and he is extremely active, this is first time he has ever panted and it was only for a few seconds until we took him out of bathroom. Called vet and they said just keep an eye on him and if any symptoms come up to bring him in. He went right back to normal and eats...

Has anyone else ever had a cat start panting when getting steam therapy?

He seems to be acting normal amd waiting for the vet to open to call and ask them about it. He was just at the vet a week ago for a full check up and they gave us medicine for his cold but we were trying to help him clear up his stuffy nose. Just hoping we didnt do any damage to him by having...

Need some advice to see if I am being overly paranoid. Our 5 month old kitten has a little cold so we did the steam therapy for like 5 min in a closed bathroom with us in it and a hot shower running. Or kitten started to pant so we immediately brought him back into a normal room and he stopped...

He ate well again this morning and I dont think he lost weight I just think his legs are growing so fast that his back end looks bony.

So I brought home royal canin kitten wet food and he polished off half a can in a matter of minutes then ate some more dry so I guess his appetite is fine. Still think he looks thin and lanky in the back end though....
