Hi, all.
I don't think we've got any vets here, but I gather we have the odd nurse and some very experienced peeps, so here's a potted history.
The Jumpster has Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. He's on three tabs of Hypercard and half a tab of Frusecare per day. This was diagnosed a month ago. He had a cough before the diagnosis which went as soon as treatment started - I'm told the cough was fluid on his lungs and the Frusecare seemed to have taken care of that.
He's been doing fine. Back to his usual self.
Just this last few hours, he's taken himself into the bathroom. Something he doesn't usually do. He's curled himself up in a chair - a chair he's never used before - and he's quitely napping. When I touch him he seems responsive enough and I even got some purring and an invitation to tickle his chin.... but his usually v. pink nose looks a little greyer than usual, as does the area round his eyes. He just seems very quiet. Not suffering, or in any pain. Just quiet.
I'm gonna call the vet first thing, but I wandered whether the general paleness might be a sign his heart isn't working properly. Or do cats with this condition have episodes like this from time to time?
Any thoughts?
