    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!

    Big love to Elly and sending strongs for positive results from all his treatment. Thanks for sharing the journey with us, it hits differently when you see him and get a real sense of what all he's battling on a daily basis - and the emotional weight on his humans. Strongs to you all. Thinking of you ❤❤❤

    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. :)

    Well, this was a treat to watch over my Sunday cup of coffee! So CUTE!! Precious little Emma :) So interesting to see how you prepare for a camping trip with a cat - and a special needs cat at that. Loved this. The little montage at the end with the pics & videos of Emma was fun, too. Yay! Looking forward to more of your videos, friend! x

    She really enjoys it! Eventually, I would like to take her sisters along, but we will need a different setup (it would be much easier in a camper rather than a tent if you have multiple cats and a dog). Little by little we’re getting there. 🤪
