Hey all,
My 13 yr old was diagnosed with HCM, but has not advanced to CHF yet. Cardiology specialist prescribed plavix and pimobendan. They said use of pimobendan is not tested for the cats particular kind of HCM, so I started the plavix right away and waited for a second opinion from my vet. We visited the vet on Saturday, and got booster shots. The vet said pimobendan could be helpful, so we started it on Sunday. 5 days later, cat is really lethargic, rising only to eat. I’ll call the vet, but has anyone seen this type of side effect from Pimobendan? He was really playful before we started this drug.
