Andy,

I never split the baby aspirin (orange-flavored!), but just made sure it
was far back in my cat's mouth when I gave it to her. She never had any
stomach problems with it, and although she was a purebred Maine Coon and
had big boning, so looked big, she was less than 14 pounds. She was
also diagnosed at 2 years old.

Did the vet who did the echo give you more information in a report,
e.g., measurements, or tell you whether Sun Kissed's HCM was mild or
moderate or severe?
