But he was with me for an extra 5 years after being at his worst and I feel blessed to know I helped him live well those last five years. <br /><br />He got sq fluids every day he also had HCM so could only get a small amount, so he got fluids daily and somehow I think that might be the most valuable thing I did for him. <br /><br />I lost him to his heart problem, but think I could have helped him through then next five years as his disease progressed as all the medications you speak about also make such a difference in helping them live a happy, longer life!Teri and her Stylish Adventure Cats https://www.blogger.com/profile/00995773243323674858noreply@blogger.com
