Oh no! The impacted anal glands are never fun. Sounds like all the kitties are stable and it's great about the recovery from the kidney problem. Let's hope...
Hello Kate Sadly it is all too common that if one sibling has HCM, the other has it. Each brother or sister has a 50% chance of inheriting it. That means...
HI Cherie, I will first mention that If potassium levels get too high, then it can cause a slow heart rate and a fatal arrhythmia, so it is something that ...
Thank you all for your help and advice - those who know me from elsewhere will know that I do genuinely appreciate all this and WILL listen. Vet this morning...

Update on Hoagie with DCM: The new drug he's on, pimobendan (vetmedin) is definitely having an effect. Just a few hours after his first dose he had a burst of ...
Peter just wrote me and said my other tinyurl link didn't work. That's weird. It worked yesterday. Try this one, http://tinyurl.com/yqfplt , if it doesn't...

Sounds like Hoagie is responding well to Pimobendan. Hopefully other cardiologists will see these results as well as there seems to be growing evidence it is...
Hi Kendall Sorry to hear about Josie. I know beta blockers cause lethargy, but I`ve never used the other drug you mention. However, I've seen all sorts of side...
Diane, What do you mean by "trim text?" For example, this e-mail I am sending has nothing attached to it and from time to time I see your message. I am not...
hi Kendall, Can you try Pepcid AC instead of the Metaclopramide (Reglan)? Metaclopramide is also for motility and it might be adding to the diarrnea problem......
Oh, I forgot to mention. When you give SEB, it's best to give it NOT when you're giving other medications. Because of it's mucilagenous nature of being thick...
Kendall, I feel fairly sure that the Reglan is causing this disorientation and wobblyness you are seeing in Josie. My cat went through the exact same thing...
Hi Kendall, I'm sorry to hear that Josie is not feeling well :( I agree about the Metaclopramide - Reglan. I looked into this before and decided to go with...

Kim, Many kitties here have managed to survive a clot, and as you asked earlier many, but not all clots are heart related. I am sure that others have suggested...
Kendall, I am so sorry. It is so up and down with these sick kitties. I hope you have the energy to help Josie. I don't know what to think about the diarrhea...
Dear Sam's People: First, welcome to you! I am sorry to read about Sam, as you probably already know, HCM is relatively common in the Maine Coon and the first ...
Kate, Welcome and I am sorry to read about your brother kitties. I wonder how your cats were diagnosed with HCM. HCM itself is not usually graded on a scale...
