Kimberly, I completely understand. At least 30s isn't all that high but if she's working to breathe, that's not good. How much salix is she on? At about 14...
So far so good with Saylor. I posted a couple of photos of him in an album entitled Saylor. In May he will have a repeat echo and chest x-ray to determine if ...
Christine, Magnesium is essential to a kitty's diet. However, everything that I have read says that magnesium should be given in ratio with other essential...
I'm so sorry Q-tip is having a bad day :( Unfortunately there is no getting off the roller coaster called life...we are bound to have many more ups and downs...
Diagnosis: Congenital heart disease. Missy has a large atrial septal defect/ventricular septal defect (8 mm) a hole in the lower atrial septal and upper...
Hey all, hope everyone is well. Sascha had her check up with the cardiologist on Tuesday night and he seemed quite pleased with her. Her bloods had all come...
I've been running into the same problem with Buffy. It's especially troubling because her condition can develop into a serious event within a matter of an hour...
Kim, Try not to get too discouraged. This happens sometimes. Baby Boy was the same way -- even when his fluid was 'controlled' he'd still have days where I...
The vet does not seem to want to change her atonal or enalapril up any because he says her heart rate is well regulated, but we still get that darn fluid. She...
Kelley, I can't comment on the diagnosis itself but you can get the furosemide compounded into a liquid. For that matter, it's tasteless & odorless so you ...
Sandra, Lasix / furosemide stays in their system for about 6 hours, so you've hit on the right idea - to spread out the doses during the day. My Pepper gets...
Nina, This sounds like good news overall. It's typical for them to be a bit "off" while adjusting to the medications. Some get lethargic and some get a bit of...
Kimberly, As Lisa said, maybe she needs more diuretics. My Pepper gets 60mg lasix daily (20mg TID) along with 6.25mg spironolactone HCTZ (which is a...
Hi everyone, I took my 9 months old Persian kitty to the cardiologist today....as I have told you in past posts...he pants when running around a lot. I...
I talked to the cardiologist today about my foster kitty with the level 1/2 heart murmur. Her opinion is that I should have a full blood panel done before...
Kelley, They might need it as a baseline. Heart medications can affect kidneys and other items shown by blood work so you need to know the starting point....
I really disagree w/this. I hate spam too, but when people join this group, and are scared and confused, the last thing they need is to wait until a list owner...
I agree with Vickie. People need to get in here fast so we should NOT stop them from joining. Besides, it's only been a few messages. Nothing we can't...
Hi all. I wish I had something good to report. As you may recall, Bonk had been having trouble breathing so I took her to the vet. He began treating her...
One of my friends from another group posted what happened to him at Wal-mart.. To funny. The Purina Diet I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my...
Susan, I am very sorry for the way life is treating you and Bongo right now. It is times like now when it is hard to find the reasoning. You seem to be doing...
How come I dont hear anyone ever talking about this number from an echo with our cats. I myself know mine and I kept trak of my cats if it went up or down....
Kelley, I am sorry that Missy's echo showed this kind of heart defect. There are few kitties and owners here who are dealing with VSD, although I don't recall...
Dear Nina, I am happy that Sascha's blood work was good. I am sorry about the heart diagnosis. I would mention that it is unusual for a cat that needs...
Bev, So glad that they didn't find major problems with your little Persian boy, but an AV block, if it were to develop, can be a serious problem. In humans one...
Information about normal heart parameters are inconsistent and are not uniform in nomenclature. Some cats have larger measures based on their body size -...
