I talked to the vet and he said that in the Xray he thought that her heart may have been slightly enlarged. He didn't see anything in the echocardiogram, but he sent the results to a cardiologist to review and he should get the results tomorrow and he will call. I feel better knowing that the...

We live in New Jersey. I felt the same way about not having a definate answer to her falling. The air conditioner has been on almost constantly since we have been stuck in the upper 90's for the past couple of months. I don't think the heat caused it. It may have been a cold or something...

Hi to all! Casey is back home with us and the vet said that he did not find anything. $300 later. He said he could find no reason for her "passing out" last week. He is sending out the results to a specialist to double check, but as of now he said she looks very healthy. Thank God!!! I...

I want to thank you so much for your kind words and the information. I found out that Casey is about 6 years old and that she never had a heart murmer before, so it is not one that she was born with. I am just saying my prayers that it is not something serious. I love her.

I forgot to add that she fell to her side and immediately got back up and continued to run, but she seemed a bit disoriented. The vet said that an irregular rhythm could have made her pass out. Thanks

My sister could no longer care for her long-haired Calico named Casey and she asked us, my husband 2 children and Golden Retriever, if we would take her in. We never owned a cat before and quickly we fell in love with Casey. She has no known medical conditions, she is an indoor cat only and is...
