My 22 day old kitten has been passing out and when we felt it's heart it will slow down to almost stopping and it will speed up and it will jolt up screaming and trys to run. It's like it's forgot to suckle so we've been bottle feeding it. My cousin says it could be a murmur but I don't have no money to take it to the vet and I'm afraid I'll lose him

My cat is 16 years old and was just diagnosed with hart murmur. The cat’s appetite is good and she still active. One of the symptoms is that the cat will shake at times when she wakes. The vet who check it out suggested a more expensive examination provided by a larger facilitated vet hospital in Portland Maine. The doctor said she is healthy in all aspect except the unknown cause of the hart murmur. Question: At the cat’s age of 16 what effective treatment can be down to correct the described problem.

Paris is at least 22 years old. She has had a murmur since 2001. She has become a bit frail. Paris sleeps a lot. I use wipes to groom her. And keep her brushed. The years have been good to her. Now she sleeps all the time and is totally deaf. When Paris sees me she cries wildly to greet me. I’m worried about the new symptom of sneezing. She becomes very upset and paws at her nose as if it burns after she has sneezed multiple times in a row. I’m worried that she is near the end.

We have a 3 & 1/2 Persian/Himalayan mixed cat. He was brought to the hospital because he has feline urinary tract decease & had almost a full blockage. The vet inserted a cathider & started him on iv fluids and kept him 2 nights. The cathider was in 36 hours as he developed crystals in his bladder. During this time, they did a separate test for feline asthma and the test came back positive for asthma. At the same time the vet doctor said that he developed a heart murmur with the iv fluids. So my question is, did he develop the heart murmur because of the iv? Also could it be heart problems and not asthma as they diagnosed? Can human asthma inhalers be used on cats? We bought the inhaler chamber.

My cat was diagnosed with a grade 2 mumur at vet consultation prior to tooth extraction surgery. The vet advised blood tests be taken but not a pro BNP test? His Blood results came back with no red flags and surgery went ahead. Two day's later I found my cat collapsed with rapid breathing and drooling. I rushed him to Emergency and vet diagnosed CHF secondary to heart disease. He recovered after fluid drainage and oxygen and 2 days later I took him home with diuretics. Two day's later he collapsed again and vet said cardiac arrest was likely and it was kindest to send him to sleep. I am devastated and cannot understand how his heart condition lay undetected and whether the BNP test would have shown some issue?

I brought my cat to the vet this past November 2019 and was told he has a slight heart murmur! I have been bringing him to the vet for yearly vaccinations and wellness exams since adopting him in 2014. We go back for tests early 2020. I feel like his symptoms are becoming more frequent and am worried if this murmur can become worse before getting it fully checked. My husband and I recently adopted another kitten June 2019, can the stress of the kitten cause a heart murmur?

Hi, I rescued a 5 month old kitten a couple of weeks ago, and when I took her to get spayed the vet discovered she had a grade 5 heart murmur (and didn´t spay her). I then took her to a cardiologist who told me he couldn´t perform the echo because she was too restless, but just from hearing her heart he said she only has a few months to live. I´m going to look for a second opinion, although if this is true, I really don´t want to put her through more stress than absolutely necessary. She seems perfectly healthy, active and has an excellent appetite, although she is two pounds lighter than my other (male) kitten. The vet says she is too small to medicate (4.6 pounds). Is there any hope for her? What should I do?
