Hello All! Deagan had his second recheck yesterday, just over one year after his diagnosis and there has been very little change in his heart. His wall...
Hi.I have a persian who was just diagnosed with a level 2-3 heart murmur. The vet has gave me no hope that he will get better even taking his meds. If anyone...

Hi. Tigger has never had this particular problem, but he definitely is accumulating fluid. The way we know when he's got fluid is by tracking his weight. We...
Hi, Sounds like an improvement over your last note. My girl gets 10mg furosemide (generic lasix) three times daily and still occasionally starts gulping like...
Thank you Lise and Sue! I sent the cardiologist a fax and asked about maybe adjusting the dosage. Maybe we'll hear something soon. I just worry about...
Pepper just had a visit today with her holistic vet. One of the things she (the vet) would like to do is gradually wean Pepper off of the pharmaceutical...
I think the DDL-1 probably indicates that it's the Dandelion leaf and not root. I want to try Dandelion for Hotspie too and have been reading about it....
They do have a dandelion leaf product and that's DLL as opposed to DDL. I'll try to call tomorrow and find the difference between DDL and DDL-1. I'll let you...
I also have a persian with grade 2 heart murmur and mild HCM. Was yours just diagnosed with heart murmur only? I agree with the others, the only way to...
Hi Michelle, Certainly the fluid accumulation would appear to be the most likely cause of Hotspie's "juicy" purrs, but there may be something separate going on...
Interesting thread guys. I'd like to make a few comments. Recognizing signs of fluid build-up: It's nice to see so many people discussing how they determine...
Dee, Sorry to hear about your kids - wow four - I thought one was a lot of work! Deagan just had his recheck echo, and most of his hypertrophy is in his...
For all our New Members with new / just diagnosed murmurs, I was in the same situation as you when I first got Deagan. He got gastroenteritis within 3 weeks...

Hi Leslie, My cat, Kit, altered male, now 14 1/2 years old, was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hyperthyroidism in Feb. 2002. After some trial...
Leslie, What your vet meant is that HyperT is a primary disease that can cause a secondary disease of HCM. The reason hyperT caused HCM is technically better...

Hi Leslie, Welcome to the group, though I'm sorry you and Zacky have to go through this. As Susan said, it is "preferable" to have the hyper-t be the primary...
Hi, Tigger is somewhat full of fluid (pleural effusion). We got his chest tapped once (Jan. 10), but he has filled up somewhat since then. We asked the vet...
