Pawsitive thoughts for Fattycat's heart scan tomorrow.

[Toddlerteaplease]

I totally panicked when the vet said the scan wasn’t actually till next week so got her booked to a independent cardiologist tomorrow. (One who doesn’t charge extra just to stay with her!) I may be clutching at straws but I think the fluid in her lungs may be due to fluid overload during her dental. As she’s just Too well and respiratory rate is normal. But please keep all your paws crossed for my darling girl.

It’s too quiet in the house with no cats 🐈 I can’t sleep.

Rurhpott :)

Toddler bless you for taking care of Fattycat so well

She's got a follow up scan next Monday, so keep your paws crossed, that her heart has improved or stabilised. She's gone bossy again and more dominant so I think she's feeling better!

Ruhr, hope you Cat doesn't sulk too much!

Think they want to go out! They are going a bit nuts running around the house. The cage/area they were in wasn’t very large. They are when they got in and now are running around like mad things and attacking the cat flap

Thought I’d st least keep them in for an hour or so but maybe I should just open the cat flap

I gave in and opened the cat flap. Hope they come back

Fatty is going for another scan at 4pm. I'm hoping she's stable. And an improvement in her heart function will be a bonus.

Keeping everything crossed for her and you

She's clearly feeling better as she's hogging all the attention, and being very dominant again. Which is how she used to be. Poor Snorg is t getting a look in as she won't jump on the sofa at the same time as mad is on it. She's also become a total lap cat!

Good luck Fatty (and hold your ground Snorg)!!

Good luck.

The cardiologist is happy with Fatty. There has been a slight improvement. The patches on her lungs have all gone. The obstruction in her heart has reduced. And her pulse is slower. Her left atrium is still very dilated, but it's early days. If the dilation is as a result of the obstruction it may go down but if it's due to the muscle structure it may not. She's better in herself, so I'm happy.

That sounds encouraging. When does she go back?.

2 months. Medication staying the same. Both girls happy as they had a new flavour of lik e lix. Turkey and cranberry, that went down well. The nurse holding her for the scan kept burying her face in fatty's floof. I was very

That sounds like pretty good news! As for the nurse, isn't that a perk of the job? Did she tell you how lovely Fatty was?

Yes. They all seem quite taken with her as she's unbelievably well behaved!

I am thinking that I will get Snorg scanned just for my own peace of mind. It will always niggle at the back of my mind every time I look at her otherwise.

She's being scanned at 4pm.

That was quick!

Good luck Snorg!

We have had so many darling kitties with heart disease on TLT lately - at least four that I can think of including Fatty. Surely we can't have a fifth!

Yes. That's one reason it's stressing me out a bit. She doesn't have a murmur but I'm hyper anxious about her because she almost died on me in February

Good luck to her.

The other cats all sound worse than fatty as they are symptomatic. The prognosis is better if they aren't.

I don't think that Heidi is ....

No. I really hope hers is an innocent murmur.
