My cat, Sagan, was just diagnosed with severe HCM. He developed a blood clot in his leg which led to the hospital visit. He is home now, but refusing to take his meds after the first day. He is very strong and aggressive when meds are involved, making it near impossible and I don’t know what to do.
Age: 6
Sex: Male
Neurtered
Maine Coon
Weight: 15 lbs
BEAM: good behavior, very loving (except for meds). Energy is low. Appetite seems fine. Mood appears sad
Diet: Royal Canin wet food, RAW brand dry food.
Medication: He is currently prescribed Clopidogrel, Pimobendan, Furosemide, Gabapentin and Rivaroxaban.
He is walking around fairly well, just has a limp. He is even jumping up on things 2-3 feet with little effort. I know he must be in pain, and I can see how sad he is not being able to live the vibrant life he had only a week ago. Bare minimum I would love to be able to get him to take his pain medication, but it is nearly impossible; liquid meds and he can smell it in the syringe if I approach and he hides away.
