Hi 4Bears, sorry to hear that your kitty has this ailment. I did all I could for Tigger, but she passed away April 1, 2006. I did all I could for her. I gave her Rutin by mouth, but for her, it didn't help as I think she had this problem for a long time. I hope your vet will be able to help you...

Thanks Sheryl for the condolences. Having to put Tigger down was the most heart breaking thing I have ever done. I still don't know how I made the drive home from the vet. She is buried by our Lilac bush so she is still with us. After some months, I did get a kitten that I rescued from the...

Tigger went onto Heaven today to be with my sister and step dad. She will be missed greatly. Only family I had from my side up here and friend. Just thought you'd all be glad to know.

Took Tigg back in for 234cc fluid tap. The vet brought back the fluid in a dish they use to measure it with and showed my husband how much there was and the color! He told my husband that the surgery is 60-75% effective, but there is that 25% chance it won't be. My husband said that that's what...

That's what I am thinking too, that my husband needs to talk to the vet himself. My husband is out of town for work until Friday but the next vet visit, he will be at!

I've tried to persuade him, but he says that we just have too many other bills right now. And with me not working, it's making it that much harder to get things paid. He doesn't want to add another one with a "hope" that this will work. I think he believes if it doesn't, then we'll just have the...

I will be doing the right thing! I HAVE stood up to my husband, so DON'T think I haven't. You have no idea what I have done or said. People say that it looks like I can afford it, don't live at my house! I'm not working either. Her 80% rate was probably when this started and has probably gone...

I am so sorry to tell you that I cannot put a 27yr marriage on the line. I just can't. Vet has been continuing to remove fluid every 3-7 days. She has lost a lot of weight. He is remaining hopeful that this will resolve but I also asked him to let me know when she's had enough. Should I just put...

Taking Tigger to the vet in the morning to get another chest tap. She has been sleeping a lot this weekend and not very hungry. Her chest area feels very full! I keep thinking that I am putting off the inevitable and extremely depressed about it! She my only friend and I dread the thought of...

Sorry, for not updating you all. Tigger had 250cc of fluid removed last Tuesday. She has been able to go from 5 days to 7 days with out a chest tap. I saw the main vet and he is still hoping my husband will change his mind, but he won't. My Mom has read that Colloidal Silver might help. I know...

Brought Tigger into vet today. X-ray showed more fluid. They took out another 280cc of fluid. I was told that Rutin works 25% of the time and the surgery is successful 80%. Needs it soon to avoid lung scarring. Dang husband! grr I am so tempted to just drive her to Spokane to have it done! Got...

My 13yr old very healthy female cat named Tigger was recently diagnosed with Idiopathic Chylothorax. Chest x-rays showed that there could be a mass so I took her 2hrs to a vet specialist to have an ultrasound done. Nothing was found. It was suggested that their vet perform a Pericardiectomy on...
