Re: Cardiomyopathy in young cat

Unfortunately we can't afford to see the cardiologist. Our vet said he understood and will manage Ezra's condition. I spoke with my vet, and he has ruled out the thyroid, but discovered that his BSL was over 300, and there was glucose in his urine. He also borderline diabetic. Ezra will begin taking...

Re: Cardiomyopathy in young cat

Thanks Traci, for all the information.

I love Ezra unconditionally, anda he loves me back. He talks to me and reaches out to touch me and makes happy feet all the time.

I'll find out more on Thursday. If it's worse, I'll do the xrays, ultrasounds, whatever. I have stuff I can sell if I need to ;)

Thanks for the replies! She originally belonged to the people in the apartment upstairs, but they tossed her outside because someone was allergic to cats. She was always hungry, and it was winter, and she developed an upper repiritory infection. That's when Tara took her in. She went to the vet (6 m...
