I forgot to add in my post last night that the reason to take Enalapril-after discussing the benefits and possible issues-would be as a preventative measure against rising blood pressure and rapid heart rate. It keeps the blood veins open and the blood flowing continuously just in case the cat (or person) has a deep and sudden drop in blood pressure which would then affect the heart rate, causing a rise in blood pressure, and further weakening the damaged heart.
Our cat Myrna Loy, born March 22, 2009, died of HCM 8/19/15. We will continue the blog and FB page. With five cats, we often have a variety of medical issues. Please share your information. Please check the Archives, Categories, Search, and Tabs for more information.
