Thread: suspected HCM

I have worked at a vets for 40 years & have only known one true case of HCM,that was in a young domestic cat that didn't come round from an anaesthetic after being castrated,that cat too had his heart checked before op & there was no sign of murmur but as I said that isn't a necessary sign anyway of HCM,the vet done a PM & suspected HCM but the heart was sent away for confirmation & it did return a positive result,the next one was a possible but was never confirmed. Once again I am sure there is someone out there who has been through it & can give you more advice but from what I understand of it there is not a cure but there are drugs that can help,I think if I was in your position that I would have the heart scan done that way you would know for sure how things stand with your babe,if it showed the worse they could advice you the best course of treatment & if it is not that you can relax & enjoy.... I feel so sorry for you & the breeder too as it must be awful to have this happen when everything has been done to help avoid it,cuddles to you both....xxx
