Open Question: Pepcid to cat slight heart murmur?
Hello
Usually I would call my vet for something like this, but seeing it’s Family day, the vet is not in today and I would like some feedback…
So long story short, my cat (11 years old, indoors only) has been through a lot recently, such as chronic pancreatitis. She’s slowly getting better, but she still isn’t her usual self yet.
She has days when she seems somewhat fine, but also days like today when she seems depressed, nauseous, and not eating.
The vet says her pancreas is still inflamed and that she has a pseudo-cyst on it that may be aggravating her symptoms.
We’re giving her metoclopramide (injection), codeine (a gel we put on her ear) every day, and some digestive enzymes (powder) whenever we can.
But even though we’re giving her metoclopramide for the nausea and vomiting, she still continues to vomit. It’s usually bile, or clear saliva-like vomit, or frothy white stuff, rarely any food. Before it used to be once a day, but the past day it’s been more often (4~6 times a day). When we brought this up before, the vet didn’t seem overly concerned, as long as her temperature is normal (which it has been).
SO
I haven’t tried Pepcid AC yet for the vomiting, and would like to try it (seeing that the metoclopramide doesn’t seem to be doing much at all).
I know it’s 1/4 tablet, 10 mg once/twice a day for a cat….
The only problem is that my cat has a low-grade heart murmur.
I read on some sites that Pepcid may be bad to give if the cat/person has a heart rhythm problem.
If anyone has any information, or have given Pepcid to a cat who has a heart murmur with success, I would be grateful!
Thanks for your time.
