    Cat W/ Hcm: Check Up?

    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...

    Cat W/ Hcm: Check Up?

    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.

    Cat W/ Hcm: Check Up?

    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%...

    Shoving Pill Pocket Down Cat’s Throat?

    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

    Shoving Pill Pocket Down Cat’s Throat?

    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...

    Cat Ate Her Sisters Medication!

    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...

    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.

    Asthma & Congestive Heart Failure

    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...

    Asthma & Congestive Heart Failure

    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...

    Asthma & Congestive Heart Failure

    I gave her one of each kind of food (turkey, chicken, fish, etc.). She loves fish so she ate some of that and had a normal bowel movement. I wonder if I can feed her real tuna? Making her some tuna water now with the juice from her food. Thank you again. :)

    Asthma & Congestive Heart Failure

    Yes my dad wants to try everything as well but I wanted to make sure she wouldn’t be living out her remaining time, after full diagnosis, in pain. She’s breathing almost normally this morning and still in good spirits but will only gobble up treats instead of her food. Hopefully her next dose of...
