Hope is one of those who have several genetic links to thymoma (three brothers had/ve it and his dad, sister also has a heart murmur). He has been 'off' for a while but we thought it was his arthritis so adjusted his meds accordingly and he settled.
Today his breathing has been all over the place- no regular rate and he looks like he is hiccuping every so often. He's so bright and lively, no behavioural problems or changes, but his breathing is entirely off.
He has obviously seen the vet- it's not one who has met the others and she knows their history, but she wants to treat for infection first. She could find no signs of any respiratory issue (same as all the others, other than the obvious increased resp rate, until they started to eye bulge).
He's home. I've followed her advice, and kind of done my own thing (which is inline with what our regular vet would and has suggested for all the others).
Poor Hope could do with some vibes please.
