pimobendan for cat with DCM ??

Hi Phil,

THis vet is at my local referral clinic. He runs/interprets the
echocardiograms, so I assume he's a cardiologist. He said he was very

pimobendan for cat with DCM ??

Hi --- I have a 3-year-old Maine Coon mix, Omar, who has recently been

3-year-old cat w/ dilated cardiomyopathy

Rhonda,

I'll try the tuna juice idea. The only thing is that it probably
contains a lot of sodium, which is bad for cats with heart disease.
Still I know it's much worse for him to not eat and not...

3-year-old cat w/ dilated cardiomyopathy

HI Lynne,

I'm not actually putting the taurine in canned tuna. My local
compounding pharmacy uses a tuna solution for all the cat meds and
supplements, just so it's more palatable to them. In this...

3-year-old cat w/ dilated cardiomyopathy

Hi Rene,

I'll ask the homeopathic vet about Rutin, but for now I'm just sticking
with the traditional meds and taurine. Maybe I'll gradually add some

3-year-old cat w/ dilated cardiomyopathy

So sorry to hear about your Maxx. We're never ready to lose them, but
the thing that's killing me is that Omar is so young. I once had a cat
die of kidney failure at age 10. I felt so cheated because...

3-year-old cat w/ dilated cardiomyopathy

Lynne,

was fluid retention. Since all this has happened, he lost several
pounds, but still doesn't look too svelte:-) I'm...

3-year-old cat w/ dilated cardiomyopathy

pilling a cat, though it may be different than the one you describe.
The problem is Omar acts like he's swallowed the pill, then I...

3-year-old cat w/ dilated cardiomyopathy

A month ago, my 3 year old cat Omar suddenly opened his mouth and
seemed to gasp for air. He's a big cat (20 lbs and looks like a Maine
Coon mix) so he often seemed a bit winded when he exerted...
