I'm new to this forum. Looking for people who can relate and just people who understand. I'm very sad.

I have 3 beautiful cats
Miss Belle 3 1/2 short hair brown and black stripes
Tigger 1 year old short hair cream tabby
Lil Missy 3 month old Maine coon mix

I brought Lil Missy to the vet for a weird breathing issue nothing serious just seemed like a random wheeze on and off for two days. When I brought her in the vet listened to her chest and said we should do blood work and needed an x-Ray. The x-Ray came back with a shadow in her heart and the vet had a specialist take a look and it looks like she has a tumor in her heart. Basically long story short my poor baby girl doesn't have a chance. She's too young for surgery and basically all I can do is make her comfortable until it's her time to go.
She's on amoxicillin, clindomicin and prednisone.

I then brought miss belle my eldest cat in to the vet 3 days later out of paranoia. She had a weird tick at the end of her breaths. Again another x-Ray and another shadow. The vet wants her to see a specialist and he can't pinpoint what's going on. She had fluid in her lungs as well
He put her on amoxicillin, clindomicin and lasix.

Miss belles blood work came back that she has toxoplasmosis. So all the cats are being treated for it. Lil missies eye pupils are now two different sizes and he said it could be because of the toxoplasmosis. Miss belles blood work is being re done because she also has indicators of FIP.

I'm confused I'm scared and as you can see my story is kind of all over the place and doesn't seem to make sense.

Any thoughts or just related stories. Anything from fellow cat lovers. I have no tears left. I'm being told to say good bye to two of my cats.

Tigger has an appointment today. If anything is wrong with my sweet boy....

Oh.. No lethargy. Everyone is eating going to the bathroom and playing like normal. Not one cat looks ill.

I'm so sorry to hear about your babies.  The only thing I can do is suggest that you ask advice in the Health area of TCS, and I hope you can find the help you need there.
