Cooper is doing well after a week of torsemide. At the request of the cardiologist, we decreased his med to 2mg four times a day (QID). Breathing rate is about an 8/15. Myrna has needed 5mg extra of lasix at some point during the day for some of the last few days (but not all.) Her breathing rate has been 10-12/15 and that's when she received extra lasix. She's stressed by the air conditioners and the fans going, storms we've had. When it's cool during the a.m. and evening, I turn the fans off and give her a break.
I began this blog in March 2014 when our cat suddenly developed symptoms of heart disease after dental surgery in February. Unfortunately, the disease took him August 9, 2014. Now that he has passed, there isn't much more to add to the blog but I will post something from time to time. Please read the corresponding blog "Cat Living with HCM" and the Facebook pages Cats Living with HCM and the Feline Moderator Band Facebook page.
