Update: Vet says he has a grade 3 murmur....his blood panel came back hormal but we are still waiting for the heart bloodwork and pancreatic test. His xray has been sent to their resident cardiac vet, but they don't have tge expensive echo, so if they feel he needs one, they are gonna try to find a doc in AR that can do it....they may put him on Plavix til he can be seen by a specialist......thank you for all your prayers! Prayers for Louie please....he is at vet and so far they have detected a heart murmur.....I have noticed since we adopted him that he has quicker respiration than our other cats and he will do a couple zoomies and then lay down and pant...I want ed to have him checked out before we move and Andi picked him up this morning and took him into vet as she works there this AM....she sent me a message that a heart murmur has been detected and now they are gonna do an xray.....I am near tears, but needed to know before we move......😭

Prayers for Louie and you are part of my day. I feel for you and sending hugs

Hi Vicki, I'm with all the others, I do pray that Louie will be ok and that you can all move to your forever home and enjoy life. Love Chris

Heartfelt prayers.

Vikki My heart and my prayers are with you and Jim and Louie. Do you know the grade of the heart murmur? We have had a few cats who had murmurs. it is scary... Are they going to do an echo? There are meds they can put him on. I am praying is a mild heart murmur. Keep us informed... HUGS to you and Jim. You have been through a lot the past two years. HUGS Suzanne

Hi Suzanne....grade 3....they may recommend an echo which they will try to help us find a specialist in AR😢😱

Oh! poor kitty, let's have positive thoughts Vicki thinking of you and your kitties. Hugs from Maureen and our Kitties

I hope you have found the problem and there is a medicine that will help, I keep my fingers crossed for Louie. =^..^=

Your quick response will do him good. Prayers for you and your fur babies

Oh Vicki, I'm so sorry to hear this. This has been such a tough year for you and now Louie. I'm glad you had him checked out and glad Andi has been with him. You know we are going to send up many a prayer for Louie, you, Jim and the folks caring for him. And we are crying with you, since he is one of our fur baby Cuties.

I am so glad that you got him checked out right away! I will pray that there is nothing else wrong with him and that the vets can help him! We will think positive that he will get fixed up and get stronger every day! Thank God he has a good momma and home he is blessed!

Sending prayers for Louie and you. Hugs

Oh, such sad news for little Louie!! Hope you get better news soon!! Keep us updated!! Bunches of hugs, Laura

So sorry to hear this. It breaks our hearts when these little guys aren't well. Prayers for you all. Please let us know what the next step is.

Prayers for Louie and you guys, too.
