My cat had the same problem. I found the book 'Cat Dental Disease Managing and Overcoming' By Albert Costa on amazon very good advice for my cat and we managed much better. Thank you for this as well.

I lost my Maine Coon boy at just three years old. He was, I thought, sleeping right next to me, like he did for hours. Even though he had been tested for HCM as a kitten, it is what he died of. The vet said he wouldn't have felt a thing. He just went to sleep and didn't wake up.

Can you treat animals that have gm2?

Lexdd sd f sg beach uh hmm uh jh?

Thank you to all the kids and their handlers.GOD Bless. A special SEMPER FI to all the USMC K9s and my brothers and sister that handle the K9s. Ooooo rah

It turns out my cat was misdiagnosed. She had an echocardiogram and no sign of HCM. The new vet thinks she may have had an injury (which caused the fluid to build up around her chest and thickened side of her heart)but everything is fine. I had my suspicions because no vet has ever heard a heart murmur with her. I’m just so happy she’s okay.

I applied for Summer 2024!! Now im just waiting to see if i get in. I really hope i do. I have a MAJOR interest in Horses and large animals. And the fact that they have these animals, onsite, is incredible.

My cat was diagnosed with this exactly a year ago today and I’m here to give some hope!! Last year we took her to the vet a few times, no heart murmur was heard but wasn’t eaten well and developed rapid breathing. She had an ultrasound and they found lots of water on her chest (not lungs) this was drained and they noticed the left side of her heart had thickened. I asked the vet how long they thought she had left, she said she couldn’t tell me exactly but said it could be months or it could be years and years- it was impossible for her to estimate. After 2 nights at the vets she came home and started daily medication. Libeo and clopidogrel. Here we are a year later and she’s sitting next to me sleeping. It hasn’t been plain sailing, she’s had to go back to the vet twice this year after a spell of not eating but I’d say she is doing well. She still plays and has a good quality of life but sleeps a bit more than the average cat, which she has always done since a kitten. My advice would be to monitor how rapid your cats breathing is. Google says cats should take 15-30 breaths a minute but my vet said 15-40 is normal. DO NOT TRY TO COUNT WHEN THEY'RE PURRING. Cats breath much faster when they’re purring so don’t scare yourself! Weirdly she still doesn’t seem to have a heart murmur and different vets have tried to listen. She may develop this later down the line? But I hope not. Trust your gut and take them to the vet if they seem off.

looooved it

My cat just died two days ago on the 26th of September at the age of 11😭. When I just had him as a kitten the vet might of thought she heard a little bit of heart murmur, trough his life nothing was wrong with him until last year he couldn't walk to good with his back legs, took him to the vet had some antibiotics and medicine and after three weeks was able to walk again. I thought it was due to an injury because he just caught a bird, and perhaps he hurt his back by it. Last Sunday he was laying on a strange spot underneath a low table, and was starting to walk bad again. Monday he was the same laying in a hide spot breathing rapidly and walking difficult. Made an appointment with the vet but this was on Tuesday. On Tuesday morning I found him passed away 😭

My puppy was born with this. 😢

What is your approach when a cat with HCM needs dental surgery? What is the biggest risk with the anesthesia? Blood clots or something else? and is it more dangerous during or after the surgery. What make it a complication?

This is so informative!!! Fantastic video; I love this kind of content!🌻🌼🐝

Sad day today , had to let my yo-yo 15 yr old male kitty go. Yo-yo had HCM & Heart failure Left ventricular enlargement , pleural effusion had returned after two tries of thoracentesis, CKD , Anemia And medication but had to let him. Crushed hearts we have.

My cat had HCM. He was diagnosed with heart murmur and asthma at 2 years old he almost made it to 8 but went into heart failure and wasn't responding to treatment. I had to put him to sleep, he declined so quickly. I always thought I would have more time with him. Such a terrible disease.

I don't understand why any form of treatment is done only when the disease has advanced into a more apparent complication. Why isn't anything done to lessen those symptoms?

Yes this were this is what happened to my fur baby but no one can tell me ,if there were any treatments . I feel the decision to put my cat down , made without me was not right .

Well said ty!

My 13 week old kitten died on Wednesday night from HMC. He hadn’t eaten through the day possibly due to the heat, he sat in out cat box and didn’t want to get out, maybe that was a sign he needed to go to the vets. It was sudden and sudden death and we’re all shocked. He was fine through out the day, he was in the living room with my dad and the next minute his legs gave way, coughing like he was chocking, his lungs full of fluid, crapped him self and was taken to the 24hr vets. My parents believe he had lost consciousness in the car. The vets did the best they could but unfortunately his lungs were to full and he died. Can’t believe it. Now we’re getting all the kittens checked to make sure. This HMC is ab asshole and is genetic. Kittens from 3 months can have this without even knowing… I miss him soo much. 😢😿😭💔

Why not just using external paddles? No cathlab needed

This seems interesting, but I would advice to use a heartwormer such as Nexgard spectra or heartgard plus.

Our cat has a heart murmur picked ip a few years ago after a feint. A scan showed i was told thickened heart and blood not being able to move as it should. Plus water in chest not lungs so much. He was on heart tablets clopidrogrel and water tabs.. water tabs were eventually discontinued by vets. I wqs told he could have two months to live. He had a heart scan yeaterday and his heart was normal aparrt feom murmur and his left side was only slightly thick at 8mm but hes a big cat. So wqs is a mis diagnosis? Hes been taken off all meds by cardio vet

Usually it’s not so bad just a minor stomach ache. But you want to fix it sooner that later my friends horse who was her baby died from an extreme case that happened so fast. It was so sad because horses become family and when you lose them it’s devastating.

Super clear, thank you. I was looking for a video to attach as an end-screen to this video in which my horse was showing all the signs that you were mentioning. I did see him poop, so I did not call my vet and eventually you see him settle and have a long rest and he seems fine after. Thank you for this video! Here's the link to mine, if you are interested in a "case study": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9h1eJVptdnRoqc.html

My cat diagnosed with blood clot today. It’s just happen out of nowhere, no sign of illness at all prior to that. She was suddenly growling in pain, couldn’t walk with both of her back legs, breathing fast. First, I thought something fell on her but couldn’t find anything falling down. Went to the vet and realised that it was very serious. They put her in oxygen case straight away. It was too quick, too soon.

Great explanation! Does the cat have to be vocalizing for it to be a thromboembolism? I understand it's painful but what if they exhibit all the other symptoms, including 0 pain response, except vocalization, does the rule out thromboembolism?

Orphaned means orphaned , it DOES NOT MEAN A HEALTHY EAGLELET ON THE GROUND , IT MEANS THE MOTHER HAS ABONDONED IT , OR HAS PERISHED , PERIOD !!!!! THE IDEA THAT AN BABY EAGLE IS ON THE GROUND WITHOUT THE MOTHER , EVER BEING IN SIGHT IS ABSURD , MOTHER EAGLES DO NOT ROLL LIKE THAT , EVER , IF IT IS HEALTHY , AND THE MOTHER IS ALIVE , THEN SHE IS NEARBY , P E R I O D !!! SHE IS NOT LEAVING HER BABY ON THE GROUND , AND LEAVING HER WATCH !!!

I watched this to figure out how to take in an injured crow in my yard. By the time I ran in and out on gloves it had rolled over and died 😞

Nice....hope to see the same procedure done in dogs too .... 🙏🏾 I am doctor by myself but we never performed TVEC

What's the cure?

Great what a way to understand the PDA,he speaks so gradually one can easily understand his words👍🏻

About to go catch an owl that seems to have hurt itself. Thanks for the video

My cat was just was diagnosed with ATE feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with secondary iliac thromboembolism He had exactly those symptoms and we don't have much hope according to the vet 😢 he said he was going to give him aspirin and check how he reacted to the medication

I had to pick up a lorikeet once, I used a towel to hold the wings down. I did this from my experience from caring for the neighbours' chickens.

Hi doctor, I have a question regarding the image at 0:21 of the video. There is a blackish growth on the bottom lip of the cat, and its something my cat also has. My cat had it for a while already and he doesn't seem to be bothered by it. My question is, what is that? Thank you in advance doctor!
