I'm sorry to hear about Moki's aggressive lymphoma. I have had one cat with it, Skeet, and he lasted about three months, and eventually it impacted his kidneys and heart. 7 is way too young, it's so unfair. Thinking of you and your precious Moki. Darlene and angel Gigi

I'm so sorry for the loss of Binx. I have a 19yo CKD kitty, Newt. I know what lactate is, but what was the goal of the administration? It's not something that has been recommended to me for him. I'm still giving him LRS sub-q twice weekly and kidney gold and kidney glandular. He has terrible...

My vet cardiologist just said that Rapacymcin is being evaluated by the FDA. Here is the abstract on it: Delayed-release rapamycin halts progression of left ventricular hypertrophy in subclinical feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: results of the RAPACAT trial - PubMed.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear of your babies passing. She was beautiful. How old was she? I am on day one of having euthanized my girl Gigi yesterday, saddle thrombosis. I am beside myself with all the emotions that come from various stages of grief and like always I find where I am second guessing...

My Muni girl was only 11. So unfair for these poor babies.

Hello, Thank you for the reply. Hearing this type of information is really eye-opening. I have to imagine once they start forming clots, they are well into their disease progression. My girl was already on Plavix at home, since August I think. I had to drop down the dose to .4 once a day...

Hello again all, Today I received the report from the ER visit with Gigi. I am a bit perplexed and upset. There are some things that are just flat out wrong, and others that were not communicated to us by the ER doctor. Some things are smaller in concern than others, but from what I have...

Thank you! I had 1-2 girls before, both are now either living with my Mom or brother because one of my boys, Seth, would harass them and they didn't respond well. Gigi on the other hand, did. She was submissive when she needed to be, but held her ground too.

Your words are so meaningful and warm, and I thank you for sharing them and holding us in your heart. Thank you ❤️

Thank you so much. This morning has been depressing. The house feels empty without her spunk, silliness, and sweetness. She was a very scared kitty in her early years. She withstood driving to CO as a youngster to try to get adopted at a rescue there. Only to be exposed to ringworm. Once I...

Not that I like to hear about any others suffering from this awful diagnosis, it does help my broken heart to think that I may have just subjected her to more suffering. I usually am one who is will to try almost anything, but in this case and another one of my cats, Muni, who had oral cancer...

Hi and thank you for sharing your experience. It helps those of us who made the difficult decision to let a cat go with this condition, feel less guilt. I’m amazed there isn’t more that can be in the 20 years now since I lost a cat the first time to ST. A new treatment using Rapamyvin shows...

Sorry haven’t posted in some time. Gig passed away today after throwing a clot and ending up with Saddle Thrombosis. This is my second cat with HCM and ST. She was diagnosed a year ago and recently I thought was feeling really good. She was only 10. She was a skittish cat in her early years but...

I’m so sorry! How old was your baby? It’s such a dreadful disease (which ones aren’t). My girl Muni had epilepsy AND then was diagnosed with mouth cancer too. She passed almost three years ago now. So I feel your pain. RIP Sweets. I hope you’re ok.

Good evening JuneLovedCats. I wanted to say thank you so much fe your supportive and kind words. Sometimes perspective from larger than my own view is helpful to hear. Your words really helped me see a different perspective and sort of ground me in reality. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Lessons learned I suppose. My guys come back very wobbly on their feet for hours after I really wonder if that’s too much anesthesia?

Thank you for adopting a shelter cat. I think the answer is yes, but with some modifications. I just finished mostly socializing a stray kitty prob 1 year old and had him for ten months. I have other cats, but even if I didn’t, I am not an advocate of letting a new scared cat roam all over the...

Wvcatgal, sorry this happened to you. I have never had two cats get a dental in same day. Mostly cuz I need a room to put one in for several hours when they come home. For my 12 yo male I just took in last week - it took him several hours before he was out of anesthesia fog. Even until the next...

Well, I think out of those who could take him they are definitely good. They happen to be an open concept facility, where after a brief stay in the intake area they’ll go out to an appropriate area of the facility for them (overweight, gen population) but they are not kept in kennels long term...
