COCO peeing on sofa UPDATED!

UPDATE!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Since 30th last month, COCO has lost a lot of weight and is lethargic off his food so I rebooked him in vets. He had his bloods taken, Pulse was slow, was dehydrated (although he drinks little and often), and breathing was laboured a little (no cough).
I mentioned none of this was evident last month when I brought him up about his urinating on sofa saga's. Although a different vet to last who saw him stated that the last vet would have only been a basic check over and nothing reported by us that anything else was symptomatic or problematic to him.


Bloods came back, Its not good, His liver O2 saturations are low (lacking oxygen to the liver), there is also other abnormal results that they want to discuss today at our appointment.


The short of it, Is that they are 95% sure Coco is displaying Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM hearth disease) symptoms and the outlook is bleak at best for him at this stage, Although to fully diagnose a heart scan would need to be performed but not essential, as thyroid results are normal.


I'm going to be making one of the toughest decisions any pet owner has to make, I hope with the research ive done, and the rest of the info from the vet, I can make the best decision based on the evidence. If he is at advanced stage then its time to say good night, ive had some really lovely "cwtches" (cuddles in welsh) and good memories.


Ill update you all more when I have come back from vets AFTER LUNCH.

I'm so sorry. As you say, that decision is the hardest cost of having, and loving, a pet.


I hope you take comfort in knowing that you have done the best thing for Coco.

:mad::mad: is not the word right now.


The "vet" didn't feel confident enough as he isn't experienced enough in cardio scans to do coco's scan or BP. Instead, drew another run of bloods and serum and the money I already paid has gone towards it, I only had to £39.00 more! for these bloods ontop of the £97 I paid earlier today and the £99.00 I paid for the last set of bloods last week. There was some talk of FIP could be a possibility to which I said If you did the scan you would haver find out either way. They have now said that in 3-7 days the bloods will be back, and that they will contact a cardio specialist to contact me in regards to a scan to be performed with them or I COULD FIND a cardio specialist myself.
