Hi guys,
So my Fat Kitty Banjo went in for some test (blood test, urine test, cardiopet PNB and xrays) as he is scheduled to had an extensive dentistry on the 19th. Well, xrays show that he has DMC. His heart is pretty large and I'm scared. We've known since the beginning that he's had heart issues (heart murmur grade 3/6), but never thought it would of gotten this bad. He also has very high blood pressure (first time getting his pressure taken and he was at 280!! Now he's down to 160, but still needs to go down)
Basically, I'm here because I need support and advice. Has anyone had a pet with this disease? What did your vet do? Is there any kind of medication the vet can give you?
I can't help but feel guilty. Did I wait too long to get his pressure checked out? Did I feed him the wrong food (raw)? My vet (who is also my boss) reassures me that it is genetic and isn't my fault, but still. Can't help but feel like poop about all this.
If anyone can send some much needed healing vibes Banjo's way, I'd appreciate it!
