Carrie- She has fluid buildup in her chest, which was greatly helped with a diuretic and tested positive for FeLV. Other than that, she's a completely normal little kitten. Any ideas from you? So far, I've heard that it might be cardiomyopathy. Do you think it could also be something else?

Wendy, That's kind of a cool story! But glad you didn't have to have it frozen off, it probably would have hurt a lot more than your self-removal. Supposedly, warts don't grow roots, but I have seen them removed surgically, and they do seem to have roots. With their own blood supply and all.
