Lasix

Luna is back from the vet, and she’s been diagnosed with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Her left ventricle is enlarged and there was a clot forming in her left atrium. She’s been prescribed Lasix, Enalapril (what I take, ironically enough), Plavix, and Aspirin. Basically, they’re throwing everything they have at her in an effort to keep her from forming clots, ease her heart’s workload, and clear any fluid that backs up into her lungs. All that said, she’ll be lucky to live another six to twelve months. This isn’t age-related; heart conditions can go unnoticed for years, but they’re a ticking time-bomb, and unfortunately Luna’s fuse has burned down.
