... much. Dear Bridget, I panicked too when my cat started coughing. My McGovern was just diagnosed with asthma yesterday. I thought his coughing was related...
I missed the original comment, but a cough was one of the things my vet told me I definitely had to look out for when my cat was diagnosed with HCM. It seems...
Hi, my vet told me the same, that the coughing was an indication of fluid on the lungs. (however, before the HCM diagnosis he said it was likely due to asthma)...
Coughing can most definitely be a sign of chf. As to the oxygen, you should get some at home. It helps a lot. We used it at home and we avoided many crisis...
My vet wants my cat to come in for a check up every month. Does anyone else go that often? She charges me about $65 to take his blood pressure and say keep...
Bridget, When my girl was not stable, she was going in every month. Whenever they adjusted her medication, they would tell me to bring her back in within 2-4 ...

Bridget -- When Baby Boy was going through the worst of it, he went in about once a week. However, now that he's stable-ish, we're only going in once every six...
So I know you are all aware of the horrible things going on in Mississippi, New Orleans, Alabama, Georgia and parts of Florida.... well fortunately these...
... I had to bring McGovern to the emergency room this morning. His respiratory rate more then doubled and I panicked. The vet there said now it seems like a...
Cathy, I don't remember if you cat is one whose coughing is a symptom of asthma or CHF. Regardless, it sounds like he's in CHF which requires minimally extra ...
When my Tristan had significant trouble breathing in early July, the cardiologist who examined him for CHF suggested that I keep oxygen handy, just in case....
Gov is home now and he is to discontinue the Prednisone but continue with Flovent. Emergency vet seems to think the Pred made him so uncomfortable as to create...
My vet said that Revolution is better for cats and only if necessary for heart condition cats. I have never used either so I don't know what if any is the...
I used Revolution on Pepper once a few years back (before she was diagnosed). She had classic signs of poisoning with the drooling & lethargy. I tossed the...
I have gizmo on 12.5 lasix 2x daily, enapril 1x. I still watch him and check his breathing, he seems to be breathing fast, as has been a while here. I think...
I have an O2 cage, generously lent to me by a fellow list-member. I can't tell you how helpful it's been -- during the worst of Baby Boy's crises, it kept him...
Hi Aimee, We're all a little paranoid :) Don't let it bother you. There's no "right" dose of lasix, except the dose at which the fluid is kept at bay. Some...
Hi Cathy, I agree with Sue re masking symptoms and that it sounds like McGovern is having a CHF issue. It doesn't sound like asthma at all. I also would be...
Hi Bridget, Many vets aren't into anything non-traditional, and in some ways, nervousness can be a good thing. We're often so desparate to do something, ...

Hi all, I had to bring my cat Boca to the emergency vet today- she has HCM with a 3/4 murmur and is on atenolol. Was very sluggish and urinated on herself...
