Hello friends

Update on Tiddles. He's eating well and sleeping, but we think he may have a bit of constipation so we're giving him a lot of wet food and will take him to the vet if it doesn't improve.

The ER Vets have been in contact. Lots of long scary sounding words that we're slowly learning about, but basically there's no thrombus visable, no evidence of pulmonary hypertension, right side of his heart is normal and he has to go back to have a cardiac reassessment in 3-6 months.

But he has been diagnosed with HCM, which is the most common heart condition in cats unfortunatley. I've looked it up and attached a screenshot for you if you want to read about it.

Going forward, we're going to keep a close eye on him and if anything out of the ordinary happens we'll take him straight back to the vets.

We'll keep you all updated. Thank you for any and all prayers and good vibes sent his way 🫶🏻

Yeah so we took her to see the cardiologist today and she fer sure has Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Basically the walls of her heart are growing thicker which makes it harder for her little heart to push blood through it- which in turn is causing the low grade heart murmur.

We also discovered that she may have a lesion on one of her teeth, so we may need to extract it. Not to mention the cough that we still don’t have any answers for (which may require X-rays if it’s asthma).
