My cat was admitted to hospital with respiratory problems 2 days ago and has just been diagnosed with grade 4 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy :(
The prognosis is up to 1 year with medication (diuretic for fluid in chest and an ACE inhibitor)
Has anyone had any similar experience?
I have to consider whether to bring him home and try the treatment, but I don't want him to suffer, as he eventually will have the same problem (breathing isues) or potentially a heart attack.....
It's so awful..... I just can't believe it.....
I don't know whether to consider putting him to sleep even though he is a lot better than he was 2 days ago.....
