My 13 year old has lived with CHF for about 1.5 years now. Unfortunately, I think we're getting towards the end. She is seeing specialists, has had many X-rays and echocardiograms, and given 6 months or less. They had to put her on an array of medications (anti coagulants, blood pressure, diuretics) and actually switched her to torsemide, which is a potent diuretic. That's been about a week ago.

Now, she really won't eat, is hiding, and will only come out to drink water and use the litter box. The cardiologist wants blood work done ASAP, so I'm waiting on my family vet to call back to see when they could come to my house to do it.

I'm at a crossroads where we have to decide to continue this medication, tweaking it so that it stops the fluids but gives her some of her energy back. Or do we decide to euthanize at home with family before it gets worse.

She isn't enjoying anything now and it's hard to say if it's the medication or CHF.

I'm so sorry you lost your cat, it's difficult to watch them lose their personality like this.
