My 7 year old cat Muffin has been suffering from idiopathic chyloyhorax for about 6 weeks. Once a week she has around 100 to 150cc of fluid drawn.
Her blood results, liver values, etc., are all good. They cannot find a reason. Heart, kidneys are good. She eats, drinks, plays, grooms, all like a healthy cat. About 7 days later she will start becoming winded, fluid is drawn, repeat.
Has anyone had any experiences with this disease, or the surgery on the thoracic duct? What is the typical cost? Is it a high risk surgery? Any information is so much appreciated.
