I can imagine that you are feeling awful but you weren't to know that there was anything wrong with him so please don't beat yourself up over it.

I have no experience of this whatsoever but I do feel that you should let the breeder know as if it is hereditary, they should be testing any cats that they are breeding from and letting other kitten owners be aware that there ould be a problem.

Take care and I will speak to you soon

You'd hope wouldn't you xx

Just been speaking to my own vet aswell - she says unless they actually did a kidney biopsy or a PM if they PTS then it's hard to know xx

Can't help but beat myself up about it xx Have asked Davey if he'll ask his sister if Vet can make a proper diagnosis - as i said to them if it's genetic i need to inform breeder and HOPE she gets her cats tested then xx

The HCM info is good too - he was never tested here as he never ended up as stud cat and at 6 months old i already knew he wasn't stud material - so cos My mates were so in love with him they had him as pet xx

i know he wasn't on any drugs and he only had a short course of synolux here when he got bad bowels when he came to me so i've ruled that factor out unless breeder had him on anything before he came x

he's only ever been fed good food but always drank a fair bit anyway (but no over excessive otherwise even i would have said something - i have girls that drink more than others but usually as they like their dry food)
