Sorry I haven't responded to this sooner, but I've been off the computer for almost 2 weeks now.

My Lucky also had Chylothroax and I am VERY happy to say that he is fully cured now!!

This was almost 2 years ago, and I will never forget those months of agnozing and pain that we went through. I wouldn't wish that for anyone.

We did have Lucky on a chest tube for about a week, and its funny now, but I thought it helped him a lot, and my husband didn't think it helped at all.

We were only told about the Rutin, none of the other medications. We did at one point have to give him Sub-Q's, and after I got over the fear of hurting him, it went really easy. I actually had a long chat with Lucky, telling him that I was nervous and we had to do this because it would make him feel better. Crazy??!! Nope, he listened, we did it and it worked out fine. Of course my husband was out cold on the sofa the entire time Lucky & I were in the bathroom doing it!!


All I can say to you Linda & Amanda is keep up YOUR strength for your kitty, they do feed off of our fears. Tim & I did everything in our powers to keep Lucky alive and well, and even though it took what seems to be forever, it did work out well for us.

Talk to people, Vets and others, you will soon realise that you are not alone, and there are a lot of people who have gone through this. Its not going to be fun or cheap, but it is well worth it in the end. Patience.................

If either of you need me, please feel free to contact me. I have my computer back now!! (Tim is back at work!!
