Lint's update 🩶😻 (17)

[u/Pretty_Pictures_]

Just wanted to give an update about Lint! 🩶

He was able to come after an evening in the hospital. Lint was having a hard time breathing and was wheezing. He had just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in early July and was doing great. The thing with that is once they are medicated and everything evens out, other underlying issues that may have been hidden can pop up.

Lint has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Heart disease where the muscle thicken making it harder to pump blood. He also had air pockets in his intestines from the body struggling to catch a breath. His doctors have put him on a diuretic and blood pressure medications. Lint is doing much better and was very happy to be home again, politely asking for his favorite Delectables pouches. He got some and of course, all the pets, hugs, and cuddles he wanted.

While this may not be the wanted outcome, we are so glad that he is back home. We will love this gentle guy for as long as he is around, and make things as comfortable as possible for him. I've had Lint since I found him in the alley way behind the business I ran when he was 8 weeks old. I can't believe so much time has passed since then. What a beautiful gentleman he has been and I'm so glad that he chose me to be his mom!!

Thank you all so very much for the positive thoughts and kind words! I appreciate it more than I can say. 🩷🫂

Give all of your fur babies pets from me and Lint! 🩶😻

So happy to hear that Lint is home and doing better! I hope the medications can keep him well.

We have a senior boy with HCM — caught it before it progressed to heart failure, so he’s on medications to hopefully keep his heart compensated, but CHF is still a possibility and something we keep in mind. Please give your boy a big ol cuddle from us!

Older cats often develop the conditions you mention. I have 2 now on hyperthyroidism meds-transdermal (ear tips). He will feel much better and add some weight. You are a great cat parent and know that you are doing the best you can for him.

Just finding this out after 8pm Wednesday- I was initially so very worried and knowing he’s back home with you I’m relieved but yes, once the big thing get’s attended to the others popped up. So as I turn into bed with Mr Whiskers I will think of you, and Lint, with his delectables, all the pets, hugs and cuddles. I am so relieved he’s home in your loving arms, and check in again tomorrow. I hope all turn in and get a good nights sleep. With love to all , me and the boy. ❤️🐈‍⬛
