Everyone has their own ideas about euthanasia. You have to do what is right for you and what you feel is right for Akira. I'm not you, and would not presume to tell you what is right in your situation. When I have been in similar situations I have sometimes chosen to euthanize, and somet

Hi Belinda,
I'm sorry to hear Joey's heart murmur is getting louder. (Grace has a
heart murmur too). I've also heard that anti-oxidants, like CoQ10 were
good for the heart. What is lycopene? Is that a heart med? I'm afraid

Yes, CoQ10 is the main one-- even conventional vets recommend it sometimes.
I learned about it from Tufts Vet Hospital when my Snowball had
hyrocardiomyopathy. I think I gave him a small amount of Vitamin E as well

That sounds good, I had to add more water to the AD because I was

It sounds like she is definately feeling much better. I've been told

CQ10 would be good. I believe the dose is 10mgs per 10lbs of body weight. I

Hi All,
Took my Joey in for an echo on his heart, his heart murmur is getting
louder so my vet wanted him to get an echo cardiogram.
There is some thickening of the heart walls, very slight on the right,
and more so on the left, which I guess is the norm for kitties that get
this condition.
Belinda, when I give her 100 cc's it is an entire can of A/D. I do
not add very much water in-- just enough so I can suck it up into 6 and 12
cc syringes. So I have been giving her a whole can of A/D on most days, with
vitamin tabs, lysine, and other immune support capsules mixed in. I jus
Hi Michelle,
You may want to syringe her a bit more, an adult cat needs between
5.5 and 6.0 ounces of food to maintain their body weight, although tiny
cats like my Shelbee don't eat anywhere near that much (Shelbee weights
about 7 pounds).
You may want to stick with the 100ccs of food, b
Yes, I am still giving her 150 cc of fluid per day, and also syringe
feeding her. But I am syringe feeding her less to try to see if she will eat
some on her own. I normally syringe her about 90 to 100cc's of A/D per day and
yesterday did only 60. I plan to do only 60 today too.
Thanks,

I actually postponed the AC phone call too, because it was scheduled for 10

That’s a great news Michelle! Is

Hi Michelle,
I know this is late, but I had a cat that had 8 or 10 extractions at once. They gave hiim something for pain after the surgery, but not a patch. He was eating wet food the next day, and hard by the 2nd or 3rd day. I agree it may be the patch causing her not to eat.
