How to handle feline aortic thromboembolism - Veterinary Medicine

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a heartbreaking disease for any cat owner. In the mid 90's I had two cats with this disease. I was disappointed that there were no viable treatments available that had any evidence of working, and after reading this article, I see very little progress has been made in addressing the treatment, but there are a few new things here that are worth a second glance.

My Squiggle died at age 3. He has a wonderful black and white male with many extra toes. He loved to play fetch. Tree died at age 6, he was a beautiful grey and white male who loved my son to the moon and back. They both threw clots and it was extremely painful for them and us. I hope someday there is a viable treatment that helps these cats live a lot longer.

For years, the profession has pushed to raise fees, but Payne contends, it is contributing to this trend of fewer client visits. "If you graph it out, the number of visits is declining with an increase in pricing. That tells us that we are not convincing pet owners of the value proposition," Payne says.


This IS an issue, most of us are struggling to make ends meet, a recession IS NOT the time to raise fees and add fancy services.
