I just want to emphasize that we can ALL call this number and have our say regardless of where we live. It's quite possible that if this passes in California...
Hi, It is one year ago today that I took my beloved Joey, a FIV+ cat into my home. What tremendous joy he has given me. Shortly after I took him in he was...
I am interested in this warning as well. Our cat is on Plavix, which is somewhat more forgiving than warfarin or heparin, but it does say in the warnings that...
I just received my March issue of Cat Fancy and noted an article on the potential use of Istaroxime with cats. It is a novel cardiac drug being studied to...
Sangie has been taking CoQ10 for many years. She started heperin treatment in Sept 2008 & I had no idea of the possible adverse affects it might have. I...
I wonder if CoQ10 has a reaction with aspirin? It thins the blood and one of my girls is taking it for arthritis. She doesn't need the blood thinning...
hi Monika, I don't know what reactions CoQ10 has with the thinners. The only thing that I found out was that CoQ10 has "vitamin K-like properties". That's all...
Hi Kathy, I wouldn't stop the CoQ10 if Sangie has been on it for that many years. Since her system is used to whatever the effects are of the CoQ10, her blood...
Hello all, I (unfortunately) am a new member to this group. Thank goodness you all are here though! I have been scouring the internet for hours now trying to...
hi, Welcome to the group. Sorry though that you have to be here. Back in 2003 my angel Sweetie was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and the vets said...
Hi Elaine, Have any of the vets mentioned kidney disease? All the symptoms you're describing are the same as with chronic renal failure (CRF)... the weight...
Hi, I've?noticed that some of my e-mail posts come up days later and some come up right away.? I'm sending this test?to my list groups to see how long this...
Hi everyone, My name is Kristina. This isn't an emergency since my cat in question (Gizmo, ~5yo, neutered male) was diagnosed way back in October 2007. I'm...
Malea, I know it all sounds so grim, but there have been kitties who have thrown clots who have had some success with recovery. There are other members here...
With quite a few new members, I just wanted to remind everyone that when you reply to a post, if you want it to go to the whole group, you need to choose that...
Just was wondering if there was anymore thoughts on COQ 10 and blood thinners? should we continues to give? or should all of us who's babies are on it, should...
I too am unsure of what to do, Max seems to be doing wonderfully right now, and I don't want to change anything! I also wanted to know, is it the lasix which...
Sangie has been on enalapril for many years & has had no problems w/kidneys. The cardiologist said it actually can have a protective effect on the kidneys...
I'm not going to change anything right now. Skylar is doing well too, but I am concerned about the Plavix with the Coq10. His cardio knows he is taking the...

MY CAT SCRATCHY WHO IS SEVEN HAS A LUMP ON HIS BELLY. SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS, AND ALSO MY OTHER CAT ITCHY WHO IS FIVE WHEN I GIVE HER CANNED MILK SHE...
Hi Elizabeth, Any kind of lump that is new, I would get checked out. It could just be a fatty lipoma, a benign tumor, but you want to be sure. It would be a...
Hi All; ... From: "Carol" <carolroars@...> ... As we have recently had to deal with this sort of thing I agree with Carol on principle as heparin was...
Hi everyone, I entered my Puddy in the Humane Society photo contest. Every year I donate to the Humane Society. They sent me an email about this year they're...
My name is Elaine, I am so relieved that my 10 year old snowshoe cat, Sebastian, won't be getting the unidentified enlarged nodule in his neck surgically...
Hi Elaine, Sebastian seems to have all the symptoms of Hyperthyroidism. Why is the vet/cardio not starting Methimazole/Tapazole first instead of wanting to do...
Our cardiologist said both the enalapril and the lasix can be hard on the kidneys, so he wanted Pye's kidney function tested after two weeks of starting the...
