Yes he loves pets and purrs constantly when he’s being touched. He loves catnip and has had plenty of time w his catnip toy banana that I just bought for him. He is eating the raw food and his breaths have been at 25 per minute the last few days. Dr Goodwin said that if he responds well to the...

@Dr. Jeff here is Dr. Goodwin’s report after Josh’s echocardiogram. You were right, looks like cardiomyopathy. Updated the original post as well.

Josh saw Dr Goodwin, the cardiologist today for his echocardiogram. Apparently he has restrictive cardio myopathy that is most likely genetic. The doctor is adjusting his meds and getting him to start on lower doses and he will go back again in two weeks for blood work. I’m going to take this...

Thanks so much!

Just recounted and got 25 breaths per min! He took his meds last night at 9pm giving to him again this morning at 9am (in an hour). It’s usually the morning before he gets his meds that he seems the most normal.

Thanks. Glad to hear catnip is ok- will pick some up and give it a try. He usually loves it. His resp rate has remained at around 30 breaths per min.

I havnt. Will give them a try. He is nibbling on stuff throughout the day- got him to eat some raw food. Will try lightly cooking the chicken hearts. His spirits seemed high this morning then after giving him his meds his mood seems low. Been trying to cheer him up all day.

Thank you! Right now I’m having trouble getting him to eat. He’s been only nibbling since he got back from the emergency vet. They told me he didn’t eat at all the entire time he was there. He was eating less than usual before his episode on Sunday. I’ve tried raw food, canned food, honest...

Thank you so much! His echocardiogram is scheduled for June 11, I plan to see both a holistic vet and get the results from the echocardiogram before scheduling my June call with you guys. Are there cat specific supplements I should buy or just a lower dose of high quality human ones?

Thank you, good to know, and will do. He is home now from the emergency vet, edited the original post and with update

Thank you, Christina! I have found a holistic vet in my area and am planning on making an appointment tomorrow (after the holiday)

@Dr. Jeff , @Dr. Christina , @Dr. Sara - My 6 year old cat is at the vet currently and they’ve told me he has congestive heart failure, they do not yet know the cause. I’m curious if there’s a more natural approach to treating this, should I keep him on the meds they give me? UPDATE: Josh is...
