Day Four! (Did I mention the cat?)
Around six years ago, amidst all the purring, Pern, our black & white cat was noted to have a slight heart murmor. This was deemed to be only a small problem but she was referred to the local Cat Cardiologist for review. At this time, having performed an Echocardiogram, they determined that she had a Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy! She was started on Atenolol, a cardiac medication used in humans but at a very small dosage obviously and we were advised to have her repeat Echo'd in three years. This we did and thankfully saw no worsening of the condition and were set free for a further three years.
Anyway, a few weeks back, we headed again for her three-yearly Echo and were thrilled to find that her condition, if anything, has improved! She is to remain on the medicaiton, which is no real hassle to give but has been discharged from the specialist! We're all very pleased... Although Pern seems unbothered either way! She's still purring away, though she has taken to sitting on my legs on an evening... Finally, some expression from her that she actually likes us!
