RN, Something made me come to this thread.. never do.

Costa, my heart is full of only the best thoughts for your little man. He's always been such a wonderful friend for you and his picture has always brought a smile to my face.

I hope he too the turn for the better you want. Heart goes out to you and to Costa and Kassie too.

RN, sending good thoughts to Costa kitty. I have two "oldies" and I know it breaks your heart to see them like this.

RN again, a former sheriff of our town won the $80 million Powerball this past weekend. Dang! He is not a relative.

RN, keep your thoughts heading this way. Costa was discharged from the ICU last night and I brought him home at 8pm. With a whole new drug regime. No more heart meds. He's now on Lovenox (blood thinner/anti coagulant), aspirin (been on a low dose for clot prevention), Furosemide (a diuretic), and pimobendan. The pimobendan is what I need lots of thoughts for. It's shown to improve the quality of life in dogs, but it's not yet been approved for cats. The (small) study showed improvements in cats, but there need to be more studies. He's not feeling well, sleeping a lot, but seems to be a bit more alert. He ate a little bit for me this morning but hasn't really drank much water. Last night when I got him home he was urinating blood, but today it's been mostly clear and the amount has improved (since his bladder surgery). The cardio doc is hoping the pimobendan will help to control his heart failure so his kidney doc can fix that. Sigh.

RN I have to tell you all this sucks. The poor guy isn't really feeling all that well. He was much perkier in the ICU yesterday. But at least he's home and his with his mommy. At least now he's getting less pills shoved down his throat, although he's getting a subcu injection twice a day. Which he seems to mostly ignore, thank goodness. One small thing to be thankful for. Apparently he has a couple of the best specialists in the nation working on him, but the fact that THEY are so concerned, well...

So, RN, thanks all of your for all of your thoughts and prayers. We can use anything and everything you can send us. It is NOT his time, not yet. (Even though he's had HCM since he was very young and he's 14 years old, so we have done a really great job managing it. Until now.)

Right now, Costacat, I am just so sorry you two are going through this and I have everything crossed for a positive outcome.

Been thinking of you, and Costa and Kassie too.. after all, she's always had him in her life.

I hope the new drug regime works well for him and that the pain subsides and he can get on with that quality of life.

RN, not too happy with his breathing, but he's eaten a little this morning and has been drinking water.

Also RN, I wish he didn't still smell like hospital and the dang e-collar. Kassie is still hissing at him, so I have to keep them separated. Costa and I are currently in the bedroom, and while Kassie has the run of the house, she's meowing outside the door. So RN I wish she'd stop hissing and remember he's her "brother!"

If anyone has any tips on how to integrate a cat who has been hospitalized and had surgery, and who's been separated from the other cat for a week, let me know. Seriously. Dunno how I'm gonna do this.

RN as long as the hospital smell is on Costa, Kassie will not want to be around him.

RN I don't know of any product that can get rid of the smell which can hang on for weeks.

RN I am glad Costa is home with you.

RN, this is pretty much the end. Unless there is some miracle overnight, I need to make arrangements for this weekend. Costa will cross that damn rainbow bridge from home, in my arms. And RN, I'm totally devastated.

I am so so sorry, Costa. FWIW, a little tuna oil rubbed on his head might get Kassie to lighten up a bit.
