I'll be praying for you and for Tigger.
Do you have access to a heart specialist? When I worked at the vet, we had one we referred clients to. Maybe talking with one would help? (Or at least getting your vet to consult with one?)
Please take care. The only thing your guilty of is being a good cat meowmie.
Oh, sorry to hear that, Meg. I hope Tigger gets better.
Kelly, thank you.....While we don't have a specialist on site at the clinic we do have one on an appointment basis that will come to the clinic. I already called my vet this morning to let them know what happened and to see if it is possible to have the specialist there on Wednesday. I am also going to have an ultrasound of her heart done.

I'm so sorry for Tigger's health crisis.My Rosco has a very bad cough and had xrays done and they found he had allergy's against Broncitis,plus Asthma and much weezing.He's on Prednisone but my Vet the other day told me to use a dietary suppliment called Multizyme which helps his Asthma and coughing.Please ask your vet about it.It's capsules but can be broken up in the food or mix with water to shringe it into his mouth slowly so he doesn't gag.Not to much water is better so it's thicker.It may help her enough to slowly weed off the prednisone or there may be other natural remedies you can ask about.If your vet isn't into natural remedies ask one who does or I can call my vet and ask.Good luck with Tigger.I'll send prayer to her.Rosco still is on Prednisone but maybe your cat can be helped with these other remedies.
Meg, Sending many, many purrayers for Tigger and you. One of my kitties adopted out to the sweetest people that have adopted 3 from me (I cat sit for them as well as clean) are going through the same thing with my rescued Binky. They have added to his meds, and I'm saying prayers for Binky & Tigger now. As others have said, don't beat yourself up for not noticing! Many times cats hide their symptoms. It's built into their wiring. Please give her lots of kisses for me, and all the PTers who'll be praying things perk up soon. Do get her to eat though! And keep us posted.
How's Tigger doing today? I'm just now reading this and I sure hope things get better! Between work (end of the year stuff) and the holiday's I've been missing quite a few post. I will keep watching this thread for updates! My best to you and Tigger!
Prayers for Tigger!
PS When my little RB Tiger stopped eating, the baby food didn't do anything for her. I switched to human canned salmon and hand fed it to her after waving it under her nose. That did the trick.
Oh, Meg ... I am just now checking in to PT after being off for several days. I am so sorry to hear about Tigger's illnesses, but there is NO WAY that they are any of your fault!!! I will be praying that your regular vet can plan a course of action that will relieve sweet Tigger and give her many more years with you!
(((HUGS)))

hi meg, how are things going with Tigger? update please when you can? This is very sad and I know you want to be with her every minute of every day. Keep us posted. Prayers going to Tigger..
how scary for you both!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Tigger will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that he gets well soon.
Thank you everyone. I don't feel like I have slept in three days.....I bet I look like it too. :eek:
Tigger had more energy last night and she ate some turkey breast last night and was drinking more than the weekend so I know that is a good sign. However her wheezing is worse. Tigger sleeps between Mark and I at night and all night all I could hear was her wheezing and then the coughing and when she would try to "talk" to me all she has is a gasp of air...no meow. :(
I called first thing this morning to her vet and they are going to see her tonight at 5pm. They would have seen her first thing this morning but I don't have a very understanding boss.:(
I left her sleeping peacefully this morning and everything is ready for 5 tonight.
Thanks again for all the support. :)
I'm so sorry :( I know exactly what you're going through. My prayers and very best wishes to Tigger!
