PS. Like I said though until I can get them all switched to my homemade
food and get their bloodwork rechecked to see if the pred is making a
difference, she probably won't have too muct to tell her other than
mayber her personal feelings about the test and treatment. So it
probably will be atleast a couple of months before all of that is
accomplished. She just wrote to UC Davis for a nutricinal consultation
to find out about the supplements and she probably won't hear back from
them until next week sometime. Plus my number 1 priority is getting
Joey on heart medication since we have caught it in the fairly early
stages, there's a good chance with this new medication we could even
reverse some of the damage and if not certainly slow the progression down.
It has been shown with this new heart medication that is not as hard on
the kidney's if the hypertrophic (sp?) cardiomyapathy is diagnosed early
enough and the cat is started on the med it can actually reshape the
heart muscle and undo some of the damage, so I want to get him started
as soon as possible. He is rated a grade 3 or 4 murmur at the very
most, considered mild to moderate and so far there doesn't seem to be
any noticable damage to the valves, just the thicking of the wall as far
as we can see, so he is a good canidate for the new med to possibly help
undo some of the damage.
