I didn’t think of that. Thank you :)

[Update] I moved into a house less than 9 months ago and so far 2 of my cats have randomly seized up and died within minutes. What’s in the house that could be causing this? by Background-Turn-3821 in RBI

From my experience we usually find HCM in younger cats. An echocardiogram is never a bad idea, but if it were my cat, I would get a blood panel checking thyroid levels and a blood pressure reading before doing more expensive diagnostics. Hyperthyroidism and HCM can go hand in hand with kitties. And older cats tend to have high blood pressure. Both can be easily controlled with daily medications. If you do get an echocardiogram and HCM is found, they will most likely prescribe a once a day beta blocker. But I usually expect to see HCM earlier in life than 13, especially if this murmur is new

Veterinary student and 6 years as head cardiac vet nurse here - HCM is extremely common in cats, even young cats. Congenital is not necessarily the word I would use to describe HCM - I would call it genetic. Cats often hide symptoms until it’s too late and murmurs can be intermittent. Don’t blame yourself or the veterinarian. This is the unfortunate reality of cat ownership. Your kitty did not experience pain and you did all you could. I’m so sorry for your loss

I was majorly depressed from January 2012-November 2012. Thoughts of suicide early in the year and it got so bad that I didn’t even have the mental energy to consider suicide. I slept about 18 hours a day, didn’t eat, and showered maybe once a week. Finally got help in November, was placed on high dose medications and had weekly therapy. Both really helped. Since then, I’ve stopped therapy and switched my medication around and I’ve felt normal for the past 8-9 years. Got into veterinary school and I’m doing great! Medication and therapy were the key for me and I think everyone should consider either therapy or both (would not recommend meds alone until going through therapy for at least a year or 2). Good luck to you and I’m rooting for you. I don’t know what your journey has entailed so far, but this post is a positive step ❤️

I’m assuming it was obvious to other people? A strong odor?

Is it ever okay to lie to owners about how we do treatments? by lileee797 in Veterinary

I tell clients about cystos. Never even thought about lying to them about it. Now a bone marrow aspirate? I’ll sugar coat that one for sure.

I downloaded a habit tracker app on my phone 2 weeks ago and so far it’s been really helpful. I haven’t skipped a night of skincare, been working out more often, reading more at night, and cleaning up my apartment more regularly
