Pye has had three echocardiograms with two different cardioloigists and neither of them even shaved her. Maybe they just do that with long-haired cats? At the...
What dose of furosemide did they put Dodger on? Sounds like perhaps he may need a stronger dose, if he is still having labored breathing. They can also add...
I've been searching and can't find what is supposed to be the normal range for the ejection fraction for cats' hearts. On Pye's previous echo it was 89% but...
That's so touching! I'm glad to know cats have emotional attachments to their siblings. Mine hate eachother or something as they're always fighting. Anyway,...
I came home from school today and found my cat all depressed and withdrawn. He doesn't seem to want to eat ANYTHING - sardines or ham. ... substantial amount....
I would bring the stray to the vet and get him wormed. Also, don't feed him anything too rich, stick with dry food for now. It may take awhile for his...

How long has your cat been on the medications? It could be a reaction to the medication, or something else. When cats lungs fill up with fluid, they...
I've decided to go ahead and leave the bag out as long as Mini seems to want it. Today she took a nap inside of it for a couple hours, and has also taken to...
I agree. Get him to the vets today. If he is going into heart failure, it needs immediate treatment. Also, my Milli had similar depression and it turned out...
I just started adding DMG to my cat Pye's diet. She was already getting taurine, CoQ10, and carnitine. I just came across this article and I wonder whether...
hi Susan, I think it's helped Snowball. She's been taking it for a year now, and though I don't know it it's specifically the DMG that's helped, I think it's...
Hi Everyone, Skylar had a echo recheck with a new cardiologist. He now has UCM/RCM. He went from mild HCM with Hyperthyroidism to - severe RCM, heart...
I've been reading about supplements and I have some questions. It seems the main supplements for heart disease are CoQ10, Vitamin E, L- carnitine, Omega 3...
Thanks, Carol. I buy supplements for my own heath conditions and over time I have become skeptical of the claims made by the supplement manufacturers...
Donna, I have many of the same questions too so I hope those more knowledgeable or experienced with these supplements can advise. I have been giving Pye 100...
Unless you are working with a vet who is knowledgeable with using supplements, I would not try to use magnesium, selenium or hawthorn on your own. Magnesium...

hi Candace, I've never heard that Vit. E increases the risk of CHF. That's something I'd like to find out too. I did a quick google search and came up with a...
Some studies on Vitamin E have found no benefit for cardiovascular health in humans, or even a slightly higher death rate. However, critics note that in...
Thank you all for your feedback, experiences, it is greatly appreciated! I have been doing research on this for weeks, purchased 5 new cat books on health,...
I'm sorry to hear of Skylar's bad Echo... my thoughts are with you and him. That's nice that the vet gave you liquid lasix for emergencies. They never gave...
I'm afraid today at 4.30 we had to have my little baby Master Yoda put down. He hadn't eaten for 4 days and whenever the vet tried to force feed him he got...
Susan, I found it really made a difference. I used little tablets that melt as soon as they get wet. They're also a bit sweet so it may be that you can mix...
Thanks, Sue. In which ways did you see a difference when supplementing with DMG? I am using Country Life's sublingual DMG. I do powder it and put it in Pye's...
The numbers that I have seen vary widely. My understanding is that this is not usually an issue with HCM, but rather with RCM and DCM. In HCM, a normal to...
Susan, I found that Pepper had more energy on the DMG. It wasn't a huge difference, but you could see an improvement. Each supplement I gave her increased...
