My dear ragamuffin kitty is only 2 years old and was taken to the vet ER last night. They found significant fluid build up in his lungs and he had labored breathing. I noticed he wasn't eating well Friday and took him Sunday evening.
Has anyone dealt with managing cats with CHF and heart failures? The vets are telling me that if he can be controlled on medication it may only be 6 months- 1 year, that typically they dont do well on home medications.
He is in oxygen therapy now and received IV lasix..... I feel so so so so so terrible and heartbroken. I know cardiac disease is a silent killer for cats.... what should I do?
