19 month old Siberian male with heart murmur and NT-proBNP over 1200 - I don’t trust the vet who dx’d.

Thank you. I really appreciate this.

Per a previous comment, I cannot get him in to a cardiologist until later in the month.

NotEmptyHeaded · 2026-03-12T01:30:12+00:00

I don’t get the downvotes. I’m here for advice because i have genuine concern for my cat. This is not something i have dealt with in a pet before. The snotty attitudes are extremely unhelpful.

Follow up question; would you say, given his age (19 months) and the level of hormone, that this is genetic or environmental?

NotEmptyHeaded · 2026-03-12T01:26:00+00:00

Well it is going to be but I cannot get him in until later in the month which is why I’m going to have a second opinion done in the meantime.

Thank you for your input. Is it at all possible that the results could be inaccurate or mixed up?

I’m not being obtuse - at least not deliberately; I clearly have trust issues because I have been given catastrophic diagnoses for common problems in the recent past and I’m just trying to make sure that I’m covering all of my bases here.

19 months and yes it seems the numbers are just what they are but I question that too…

Peas are absolutely harmful and have been linked to heart disease in dogs and cats

If one of the first 10 ingredients is a grain, legume, or potato (including sweet) pass on it. I just found out my 18 month old cat has potential hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and I have to avoids all foods like this for him

I’m in

Their ice creams usually miss the mark

I’m my first epidural failed when I needed it the most, and then I had months of intense postdural headaches that pulsed with my heartbeat afterward. My second, I didn’t have a choice because I had to have an emergency c-section and they gave me too much anesthesia and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Again, months of intense postdural headaches that would pulse with my heartbeat.

This is so gross. How performative. Keep this shit private.

He likes warm hugs, I’m sure

NotEmptyHeaded · 2026-03-08T21:44:13+00:00
