I called the cardiologist who treats Mousse's severe HCM today
Plavix (blood Thinner) And Nose Bleeds
and he wants to prescribe dexamethasone for Mousse's nasal and oral inflammation for 7 days to see if it helps. He said there is a chance that it could exacerbate her HCM but that the risks for her are very small. He's a board-certified cardiologist. However, I did a google search and it seems like the risks are high for an HCM cat. People on some Facebook groups said you should never do steroids for a cat with a heart condition.
I don't know what to do. I'm so conflicted.
