She was given 3 months a month ago, but I reckon she's going to be here much longer than that!!

Hope the PDSA help you out, and that your kitty feels better soon xx
Thank you for replying, our vet said alot of cats have this but dont realise it? I remember reading about your Audrey a while ago and I never put 2 and 2 together, I was shocked when the vet told me and have been trying to look for some info on it. I'm glad she is doing well, she sounds very happy & active!

I must admit Filou is always out running around like a crazy thing and sometimes it worries me but its who he is at the end of the day so as long as he is happy He is on 2 tablets a day but they treat heart murmers so I hope we wont have to wait long for his xray, I sent a letter off to the PDSA today so fingers crossed they will xray him soon.

He was also diagnosed at 7 months and I was told he may not make it and if he did the quality of life wouldnt be the same for him and thankfully they were so wrong! He is 2 years now and more active than hes ever been!

Thanks again for taking the time to reply, give Audrey a hug from me!
