Hey, one of the original posters on this thread. Wanted to let anyone who checks know, Rocky is still going! CHF doesn't have to be the end of the world.

This thread has helped me in so many ways. Even if I've all but cried my eyes out while reading it. My sweet 3 year old baby Fidget was diagnosed 18 months ago. The first year after that was a breeze. No trouble at all, and I hardly ever thought about the disease. Four months ago she had a second episode, that threw me into a constant state of anxiety. I suffer greatly from generalized anxiety, and she is my emotional support animal. I've never in my life felt so attached to anything like I do with her. She's my little peep. Now anytime her breathing picks up, I get so scared. She's had one other episode since August, and almost another but I caught it quickly. I've made her an oxygen box that her vet recommended. It seems to help tremendously when she's fighting for breath. I would do anything to save her life. It's so very hard to watch her go through this evil disease. I hate it so much knowing I can't cure her. She's so full of life and deserved to live it long and happily. As do all of our precious kitties. I pray nightly for a miracle.
But all I can really do is be happy, for her sake.
So sorry you lost your dear Buster. You gave him a great gift by setting him free from his suffering.I lost my 11 year old boy Buster 2 days ago to CHF, he lived for 2 years after diagnosis, I miss him so much :'( Found this site while looking to see if I could have done anything more, his CHF progressed so fast the last couple of months, he was on the highest dose of 2 diuretics and still filling up with fluid in his tummy, his lungs and even his back legs, and started to struggle to breath, I decided it was time to let him go before suffering anymore
