Feline Moderator Band Cardiomyopathy-A Difficult and Often Quickly Ends a Life

From Facebook post August9:

What I want owners of cats with FMBCM to know is that the disease may end a life quickly. It's a very difficult disease due to the bands. But it is worth fighting to keep the cats healthy and alive. Torsemide is an option. Giving supplements to support the kidneys is a must: B12, magnesium, potassium, Gerber baby sweet potato added to food as a potassium source, Tumil K or Sundown Potassium; vitamin E oil mixed with 100mg of COQ10, and Krill Oil and some water-given by mouth. These improved his kidney values enough. 

But in the end, nothing was enough. Only God knows why we are given cats with a disease, why some do well and others do not, and why they are taken from us. Sometimes there are no answers there is just a responsibility and a job we need to do to help them
