Prayers needed for Mona

My friend's cat Lisa died 2 weeks ago -she came home, began to breathe hard and while Gudrun was calling the vet, she died. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...b/fc8db602.jpg

She was 8 years old and as you can see looked perfectly healthy. She had become a little lazier but nobody knew she had a serious heart condition.

Now Gudrun is worried about her sister Mona (I don't have a picture of her). She has had an ECG (I hope this word is right) and it shows a heart problem too. The vet thinks it is HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and she is having ultrasound tomorrow. Basically the sickness is difficult to treat.

The real problem: Mona has a tooth problem right now. The tooth should be pulled but it could happen that she dies when anesthesized. She has not been eating these days -so most likely she is in pain. After the ultrasound tomorrow a decision must be taken to pull that bad tooth.

Her mom is so worried. There is a small hope it could be a treatable version of HCM (like hyperthyreoidic) which is unlikely as her sister had it too.

So you see, we could need some support here. Thanks a lot.

I will keep dear Mona and her family in my prayers. Please let us know the results of the ultrasound tomorrow.

Oh, poor Mona and Gudrun! :( What a shock it must have been to loose Lisa and then find out that Mona is ill too. I do hope she can be treated and get well again!

I'll keep Mona in my thoughts and send lots of positive vibes. Kisses from Fister too.

My positive thoughts and prayers are being sent to Gudrun and Mona.

I know what she is going through, because I lost my Tony to Cardiomyopathy in 1999.

...and to think of the current heat wave over here, this is surely not good for Mona's condition!!!

!!!Of course prayers and positive thoughts are on the way!!!

This must be a very tough time for Gudrun...so my thoughts go out to her as well!!!

Positive thoughts and prayers going out to Gudrun and Mona. Sounds almost like SAS's situation with Graemer and Gabe. :(

I sure hope they can pull the tooth so poor Mona can at least eat something. I'm sure the not eating isn't helping the heart problem any.

Hugs to Gudrun and skritchies to Mona.

Barbara, I will definitely keep Mona and Gudren in my prayers. She just has to pull through this, somehow!!!

Prayers and positive thoughts on their way to your friend and Mona. I'll be thinking of them tomorrow.
So sorry to hear about little Lisa.

Prayers being prayed here for this situation.

Furkids are crossing paws and purring hard, too.

Paws crossed and sending prayers to Mona.

This is really going to be a hard time for them. Losing one and the possibility of losing another. All prayers and positive thought being sent to help them through this very difficult time.

Can Gudrun chop her food for her? Or some liquid that she likes and will provide nutrition? Is a Catsip type product available.?

My thoughts are with Gudrun and her kitty...Poor things.....

My condolences to your friend for the loss of her Lisa. Tell Gudrun that prayers and positive thoughts are on their way for her and for Mona.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lisa. I hope everything works out well for Mona, we'll keep fingers and paws crossed here.

I hope everything is going to be ok and that bad tooth will be extracted and Mona will get her appetite back and will have the strenght to fight her heart condition.

I'm so sorry about Lisa. I'll pray for Mona and all the other sick kitties.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lisa. :( Prayers and positive thoughts are on the way for Mona. I sure hope her tooth can be extracted safely.
