Yes, the internist didn't feel it was bad enough for meds, or that there were any meds to put her on at this point. She is asymptomatic except for having a hole in her heart. She has been checked for fluid build up and has none. My regular vet has instructed me to bring her in immediately at any sign of panting, so I check her about every 3 minutes to see if she is panting.
She could throw a clot at any time, but really so could any other cat...I keep reminding myself. On 12/26/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
There are meds for cats with heart conditions. My Snowball was on them. They do not necessarily save them, but I think they can extend life in some cases, and certain drugs like lasix can make them more comfortable if they get fluid build-up.

I am told she may have me chant over her and things. I will chant all day if it makes her better. I just am not really happy with forking over $380 and being told to go home and see if it gets worse and wait to see if she will live or die.
