Thank you so much! We have an EKG appointment with Elly today, actually, and hopefully we'll get some better insights into fine-tuning his treatment so he can be around for years to come. It is a journey for sure!

Hello.So sorry to hear about little Elly. Have you thought about using the herbs Hawthorn berry & Schisandra berry. Both are safe for cats & both are helpful in congestive heart conditions. A herbal tincture would be good but it would be best if it was a full extraction tincture in a non alcohol base I believe that Natures Answer company do a range of full extraction tinctures in a veg glycerine base & there may be some other alternatives as well. Or perhaps the powdered herb sprinkled on food if Elly would eat it. Please let me know if you need any more information. Love to you all.

Thank you for your suggestions. :) I have looked into herbs and together with the different herbal companies and holistic vets, and through my research, we have all determined that hawthorn, dandelion and Schisandra can all cause dangerous and potentially lethal interactions with Elly's heart medicine, especially the pimobendan. Now, should Elly ever be able to get off the pimobendan (sometimes it can be contraindicated in HCM cases, depending on what the EKGs show), THEN we can entertain some of these herbal options. But for now, they are off the table. Appreciate the suggestions and as an added bonus, these herbs can be especially helpful in cats with heart murmurs. :)
