Also, if you are giving several medicines to a cat, that can be stressful to both of you. I buy NOW V caps size O from Amazon and either crush or put the pills in whole into the capsule and seal it. I put all 3 of Pouncy's meds into one gel capsule so I only have to pill him once, not 3 times.

My cat Pouncival survived chylothorax. He was basically pronounced dead twice. The fluid that develops in the lungs is from fat in the digestive system. My vet put Pouncy on a low fat diet (Purina OM). She also started him on prednisolone 5mg and theophylline which was compounded for me at a...

I have a cat diagnosed with chylothorax. The vet put him on a very low fat diet. He has asthma as well, and is on prednisone and a bronchial dilator as well as minocycline which helps with inflammation. He has never been on rutin. He has done very well on the low fat diet with the drug protocol...

I have a cat named Pouncival diagnosed with Chylothorax. Vet sent us to specialist, prognosis poor, not much could be done, and no one thought he would make it to his 4th birthday in September. He also has asthma. Not a good combo. My regular vet suggested a low fat diet (Purina OM) so we went...
