You're not crazy at all. I think every one of us feels this. I know with Baby Boy I used to have anxiety attacks, worrying about how he was when I was at...
Any injectable has the potential to burn. Baby Boy got injectable lasix on occasion, when it looked like he was brewing up some fluid, and it certainly saved...
Bluebell, Welcome to the list though I'm sorry you had to join us! Cats with heart conditions don't require low-sodium food as a rule. The most important...
when Baby doesn't greet me, that when my heart start pounding. More so in the winter, when he's in a deep sleep somewhere, like the "Hamper" LOL Other wise I...

Hi I am so sorry to hear of Barney's problems. I also had kittens diagnosed at a young age, one with HCM and the other with a large hole in her heart. Both had...
