You and Harley will be in my thoughts, Marsha. I hope he’s doing better today. On Dec 14, 2014, at 10:02 PM, Marsha mar...@lynxe.com wrote: Harley developed this cough, where sometimes he gags or sometimes it's like a whole-body hiccup. Much of the time he crouches or sits all the way up

Harley's condition has remained the same overnight, with the addition of one episode of vomiting some froth. A critical care specialist is taking turnover from the overnight vet now, and will be discussing with me this morning what kind of imaging or tests might narrow things down. Tracheal

I visited with Harley for a couple hours this morning. He seemed to be feeling a little better than last night. He even made biscuits, purred, and rolled over for a tummy rub. Still tired though, and not eating because of his throat. I brought him a couple of toys from home. I'm not

Glad to hear Harley is purring and affectionate. I take that as a good sign. I hadn’t heard of ECGs for cats, but it makes sense. It’s a good non-invasive test for heart concerns. Sounds like that’s not the issue, though. I hope Harley is even more improved tomorrow. Lance On Dec 15, 2014,

I've had echocardiograms (or cardiac ultrasound, if you prefer) on 2 cats before due to cardiomyopathy. One that had cardiomyopathy (caused by undiagnosed hyperthyroidism), and then another to check the heart *after* they were diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. The Dr. said it was unusual for

Do you mean lymphoma? Lymphocytes where it starts can be most anywhere in the body, so there can be different symptoms. I have had 3 cats that had lymphoma. 1 was FeLV+, the other 2 were negative. I even had the negative ones tested for FeLV after they were diagnosed with lymphoma, just

No, he doesn't go outside, but I am now worried that the bag of DRY leaves I brought them to play in, might have been a potential source of spores. We have also had unseasonably warm weather plus a week of fog/mist/drizzle, big temperature inversion that caused air quality alerts. There is
