@audragracee: hoping to reach whoever needs this. if your cat has a history of hcm or is older in age PLEASE check their breathing daily and keep up with vet visits as much as you are able. beau had zero symptoms before going into heart failure, and was acting completely normal up until the point that there was fluid in his lungs. he’s stable now but unfortunately this isn’t the case for all cats in chf. remember that cats are extremely good at hiding illness and to follow your intuition if you think something may be wrong. i almost lost my baby boy. #hcm #heartfailure #hypertrophiccardiomyopathy #sickcat #cathealth
