Just wanted to request some vibes/prayers for Peter. He's scheduled for another cardiac ultrasound first thing tomorrow and, knowing my sweet, timid boy, it's going to be pretty traumatic for him, even though we've been through this before.

The news we're hoping for is that the meds he's been taking since being diagnosed with HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) in March have halted the progress of the disease. The fact that our vet couldn't detect his heart murmur at Peter's last regular checkup is a very positive sign.

Peter's been doing great with taking his meds and has shown no other symptoms aside from the murmur. He's such a playful, active boy (much to my girls' dismay
), you'd never guess there's anything wrong with him.

Anyway, if you guys can spare some vibes/prayers tomorrow, Peter and his meowmy would be very grateful! Thanks!

Thanks, guys!
All of your vibes are really reassuring.

If Peter can survive the Ginger Monster, he can survive anything! Also, if he thinks of beautiful Sadie as he's being tested, he'll come through this just fine.

I'll post an update after the ultrasound. Thanks again!

Plenty of vibes for Peter for great test results. Pretty nervewrecking waiting for results on our little heart patients. My Redford goes in for his second year ultrasound checkup on the 20th so I know what it is like. Here's to good news for you.

Thank you, thank you, thank for all your vibes and prayers for Peter.


We're back from the internist's office and the news is even better than I'd hoped for! Not only hasn't there been any progression of the HCM, but Peter's heart is functioning normally!
What a relief!

Since he's doing so well, the plan for now is just to continue with his daily meds and go back for another ultrasound in 6-8 months. Peter was such a brave boy this morning, very sweet and well behaved. I was so proud of him.


Thanks to all of you for thinking of Peter and me this morning. You guys are the best!

And, Tricia, sending lots of vibes for Redford's upcoming ultrasound. Please let us know how it goes!
