Okay, I rescheduled for about a week to see what I can pull together. Was your baby showing signs of getting worse during the 2 weeks? Lily’s been acting normal except a little wheezing but I found out it was likely from the humidifier. I didn’t know it needed to be sterilized daily so it was...

Wanted to add that these check ups would be every 2-3 months and cost ~$1000. Her prognosis is one year at best. No other info about her sister cus we have no clue if she has a condition or not yet.

My baby Lily was diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive* cardiomyopathy a couple weeks ago. My issue is that the cardiologist is about a 3 hr round trip from me. I’m supposed to take her for a check up tomorrow and have her sister get an echocardiogram to see if she has the same condition (50%...

Do you think it will change the effect of the pill? The pieces are already quite tiny but I will try that. She only has interest in certain types/forms of cheese. Thank you

Lily has been very upset about having to take her medicine. After day 1, she won’t eat the pill pockets. I ordered new flavors online just in case. I tried connecting them to a treat, coating them in cheese, butter, etc. to no avail. So I decided to try to just plop the tiny pill pocket down her...

My cat ate her sister’s medication. I was turned around for one second closed the cabinet and she ate it. I feel horrible and am freaking out. The vet said just monitor her for 24 hours. It was either 1/4 of 75mg clopigodrel (prevents clotting) or 1/4 5mg atenolol (slows down heart rate). I am...

sorry i am on mobile and i couldn’t figure out how to start new threads :/ will attach pictures now

Okay thank you! I’m really hoping they don’t have the same father but genetic testing and further examination of lil gray will be done as soon as I can.

Also, lily is a bit furrier than gray. Striped orange tabby dad & calico mom?

My baby lily bear has HOCM and there’s a 50% chance it’s genetic and her sister has it too. I’m tracking down her littermates today to see if they’re having an problems and what they look like. Lily is an orange, white, & black tortie. Gray has chimera (her face is half gray half beige). They...

see my previous posts about the hell we’ve been in since sunday.. but! we have answers lily was diagnosed by the cardiologist with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. she was given new medications and got a full panel bloodwork. her kidneys are good for now and we’ll know about the rest...

my 1 year old cat lily was diagnosed with asthma a month ago sunday, trouble breathing, vet says she likely has congestive heart failure. needs echocardiograham and ekgs done (can’t be done until thursday) to know the best treatment and more accurate prognosis. she has syrup to get the fluid out...

See my previous two posts first... Lily is doing worse. A vein leading from her heart is enlarged. She feels ok and got her meds increased, though. My dad wants to keep trying for her but I want to avoid a sudden and painful death. I also found out her sister could have the same kind of heart...

Well she has a suspected diagnosis but we don’t know for sure. Thus her treatment could not be the best. If I could get her to a cardiologist they would know for sure and be able to treat and give prognosis. I’ve considered in home euthanasia but everyone has told me to give it a chance because...

I go into more detail about Lily’s state in my last post. My question here is, she was recommended yesterday to go straight from the vet to a cardiologist but none were available until today at 3pm. It would’ve been an hour long drive and her respiratory rate doubled when I took her to the...
