...done a week earlier as valid, but objected to the medications. It was the original vet and the ultrasonographer who decided that Jamie needed Plavix and atenolol and the cardiologist was very arch about saying that non-specialists should keep their nose out of what they don't know and took...
...the heart med the vet has prescribed, but I did a search on this site and found only one other thread that even mentioned it. Clopedigril (plavix) Transdermal Gel | TheCatSite. The other thing you might consider is joining a forum that deals specifically with feline heard conditions - surely...
...who did the tests that diagnosed HMC said that a lot of the heart meds were hard on the kidneys. She said the Pinobenden isn't.... vut said Plavix and Lasix weren't good. It's getting so I don't know which vet to trust. Thanks for the links... I'll check them out in the morning... I''m...
Thanks for sending the HCM report on Jamie. The report I got on Jengo wasn't as thorough as that... just gave the number related to the HCM... his was 354 and normal was between 0 -100. Also Jengo has CKD.... apparently Jamie does not, correct?? That is definitely a consideration when...
Jamie was placed on Plavix and atenolol by the regular vet who ordered the ultrasound of his heart and by the doctor who performed the ultrasound.
They encouraged me to take him to a cardiologist, who took him off of both medications because she said his case was very early. In her opinion...
...is really eye-opening. I have to imagine once they start forming clots, they are well into their disease progression. My girl was already on Plavix at home, since August I think. I had to drop down the dose to .4 once a day because she would vomit up the .5 ml (I was giving to her compounded...
...were heart related. So an ultrasound was done and we went to a cardiologist who did not feel that there was a relation. He was on atenolol and plavix but she felt that his case was early enough that since he is very hard to pill that he did not need them yet. In her opinion, the use of...
It's been almost one year since my boy's original diagnosis. He is still going strong! We didn't even have to increase his plavix.
I mean lasix. The addition of pimobendan seem to be very helpful.
...off and I'm not realizing she is gone. My remaining 4 cats seem out of sorts and I can just feel the difference this time.
Gigi had been on Plavix already and was getting heart glandular, but that was it. She hadn't progressed in her disease process enough last June to warrant other heart...
I am sorry it's progressing. :( I haven't used Plavix, but I've used Enalapril before. I never saw any side effects, and it seemed to do it's job as mine with a heart problem lived for years after being put on it. Later, he was also on Lasix, but we were able to decrease the dose over time...
...when I got her out of the hospital because she eats more of that brand. So a lot of new foods: purina indoor naturals, cod, new medicine/plavix, also almo chicken with cheese wet food. She has a flaky bald spot near her neck on her chest side wall and little bald spots on her ears and red...
...his throat) he is afraid the exercision could cause a problem. So i am looking for options to get his daily dose of the thinner in him. the plavix is a large round white pill that we have to cut into 4 does but its still pretty big and has a very bitter taste. there is no foods strong enough...
...hospital away from home with strangers where her last lucid moments would be filled with anxiety. I opted for treatment. She has been getting plavix and heparin. They diuresed her yesterday and today, I think prematurely since her chest xray didn't show fluid in the lungs. She now has a...
I read similar, grain-free not being healthy for cats or dogs because of the added filler. They replaced wheat and rice with things like peas and beans which are not good for cats. It is quite hard to find food without this stuff now, especially with dry food. I hope you continue to see...
...he's hungry which seems odd given the preference behavior with the water.
Our boy is doing much better. Our cardiologist has him on Lasix, Plavix, Enoxaparin, Pimobendan and Spironolactone to help with his condition. We moved him onto kidney food 8 months prior to his CHF episode due to some...
...to her specific foods. You may not have any success until you discuss with your vet how to manage these side effects.
Thyroid meds and Plavix can both cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and inappetence. Prilosec has the potential for the same side effects if taken long-term. Metoclopramide...
...He's got early congestive heart failure caused by HCM. He's been prescribed long term to continue the Lasix diuretic for fluid buildup and Plavix for future risk of clot formation. He's got a vet appt scheduled for the beginning of May to have a comprehensive exam but I will have them pivot...
...in for his 6 month follow-up echo and unfortunately it's progressed, and now he has mild-moderate atrial dilation. The cardiologist put him on plavix (anti-coagulant to prevent clotting) and enalapril (ace inhibitor to hopefully slow progression to chronic heart failure).
This has been...
Amazing, that's great news! I've been reading the prognoses online and it's depressing, so to hear yours survived for years is reassuring. Was your cat initially diagnosed with CHF and HCM or just HCM? Did he ultimately pass from CHF or something else?
No symptoms, it's like nothing is wrong...
