Cat with Congestive Heart Failure Emergency

[HA! Support]

From Support to @Dr. Jeff @Dr. Christina @Dr. Jean Hofve on behalf of member TracyB:

My situation is that I have a 9 year old cat who was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure as an emergency patient. The symptoms came on very suddenly. The vet referred us to a cardiologist at Cornell (we live in Ithaca, NY). Our vet thought she should remain hospitalized and be transferred to Cornell but the costs are enormous for us given what they see as the prognosis. So we brought her home. If we thought there was a real chance that she could have a happy life, we would come up with the money somehow. We’d like to explore homeopathic options but I don’t know if we need to commit to the hospitalization and try to get her stabilized and get the echocardiogram and other testing in order for a homeopathic vet to be able to effectively help us.

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for asking!

The ways to help will depend on the context of her history, BEAM trends, physical symptoms, diet, etc.

The fastest thing for you to do is go through the HA! 101 course tonight. If you have more time tonight, then read, listen to, or watch some of the heart resources.

Then post on the forum with this information:
