hi
Our 20 month old british short hair cat passed suddenly yesterday. My wife found him early in the morning on the bedroom floor.
He was about 8 months old when we got him and the vet said then just before the neutering that he had a double heart murmur. They told us he should be good for a year without medication and to bring him back if there were any big changes. He already had subtle odd breathing but nothing changed and he always was energetic and acting normal.
Now were are feeling guilty that we should have taken him in sooner for maybe an ultrasound. We're not sure how long any medication would have helped him and of any side affects those would have caused. Just looking for advice if we should/could have done more? we are not even sure if surgery would have helped. He had a happy short life but we miss him terribly.
