It's just that it hasn't been deemed necessary at this point to even bring her to a cardiologist, since they haven't even run bloodwork yet. They detected the murmur last Thursday, and asked me to bring her back in a week (unfortunately she was booked til Tuesday). Then they will run blood tests...
Sorry I wasn't saying anything against seeing a specialist, just that the vet DOES seem to push it in other ways (like for my dog, she was VERY pushy in that situation and I to this day feel it was unnecessary). I didn't mean that I won't have Toby go see a specialist if she needs to. Thanks, I...
Okay so I shouldn't get too ahead of myself but my kitten has a heart murmur. She is about 4.5 months old now so it COULD be serious. I am trying not to worry unnecessarily, but I was wondering if any of you have had experiences with cardiologists. I would appreciate any and all info and...
She's 4 and a half months... she used to eat the nonfragranced litter but I haven't seen her take any interest in eating this one... thanks though I'll keep an eye out for that!
I just bought the Multicat Tidy Cat Scoop accidentally as I was in a rush and didn't read what type it was. I only have the one kitten. Should I return it or do you think it'd be okay to use?
UPDATE: I just put it in her litterbox, I don't think the smell will be too strong. I don't know why I...
I just wanted to thank you all for your support and kindness during this time, I know it may be nothing too significant but since Toby has a heart murmur it really could mean anything right now. I would like to ask you to keep us in your thoughts and/or prayers now as this is my first time being...
I hate to switch siggies so often but my friend helped me all day with this one. I really want to thank Laureen for the beautiful one she made me though! I will try to switch back and forth since I love them both so much!
How long has she been on Lysine? My vet just started Toby on it to see if it'll help but she wasn't tested to see if she has herpes... is it something she'll have to stay on long-term?
Thanks so much everyone, they didn't say what grade it is yet but there is chance that it will just go away... I'm really praying that it does. I love my little Toby more than anything and she is such a part of the family already that it tears me apart to think that something might be even the...
So I took my lil kitten in to the vet today cuz she shows signs of a URI, and I found out she may have herpes, which I'm not TOO worried about, because that's pretty treatable. What I AM worried about is that they definitely found a heart murmur. She's about 4.5 months old so my vet said it is...
No nothing in it but I took her to the vet (they squeezed her in) and they said it's probably a slight URI... I don't think anything too serious though. They prescribed a L-Lysine supplement called Viralys for it.
The thing that scares me is she's 4.5 months old and they found a heart...
