news The vet says our cat has Cardiomyopathy. It seemed to come on in 2 days. Scouts weight hasn't changed in over 2 years. We took Scout to the vet. The vet did: weight physical exam Major blood screen urine analysis 2 Radiographs/interpretation Electrocardiogram-routine Cytology (microscopic descrip) Tap thorax Drain thoracic fluid "They couldn't drain to much as the stuff is around his lungs and not in his lungs." We are giving him "Enacard 2.5 MG Tablets" Any ideas? One of mine just got diagnosed with the same (thanks Phil for the advice) but the vet had no problem in draining the all fluid from his chest. He is on Hypercard 10mg 3 times a day now for the rest of his life and he was back to his normal self after a couple of days of pills, just as Phil advised to me. Worf hasn't lost any weight and it also came on pretty quickly but I imagine the external symptoms were much to do with the fluid in his chest compressing his lungs and making him wheeze. He's even getting used to getting 'pilled' 3 times a day. -- Niel H |
