Re: Ninja has a broken heart


I am so sorry. It is awful when something like this happens to a young animal it always feels so unfair. Enjoy him x

Re: Ninja has a broken heart


Just an update, After all the tests came back the diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy idiopathic/congential. He's had 2 echos' now and his taurine levels came back normal so everything else has been ruled out.

I just want to post this video so people who search can see what Ninja is doing, and know that if your cat is doing this, consistantly and for extended periods it is NOT normal and should be worked up.

Re: Ninja has a broken heart


He looks so sleek and gorgeous and the panting is cute but because I know that he does it due to heart failure it's sort of sad. He looks full of life though Kobster and that must make you feel better.

Re: Ninja has a broken heart


As others have said before me, he is a lovely animal, and it is so sad to hear just how unwell he is.
