I was just doing some reading on cat health to try and figure out what's going on with Rambo, and I stumbled across an article on heartworm in cats. Rambo's symptoms fit alot with the symptoms of heartworm including: the coughing, breathing difficulty, vomiting, sluggishness and weightloss (Rambo lost 1kg over the course of 1 month). He has all of those. THe only different symptom from his first occurence of the illness was the blisters/sores in his throat. he was never diagnosed this first time, he was just treated as if it was calicivirus.
If it was calicivirus, would it be reoccurring this soon (less then 1month after). Maybe I'm just grasping at straws here, but has anyone had any experience with heartworms in cats?? How are they diagnosed (i.e. do they show up on an x-ray?)
