Common heart and blood pressure medicines for cats include ACE inhibitors (such as enalapril and benazepril), beta-blockers (such as atenolol and propranolol), and calcium channel blockers (such as amlodipine). These medications work by regulating the heartbeat, controlling blood pressure, and improving the overall function of the heart. The specific medication prescribed will depend on the individual cat's condition and medical history. It's important to consult with a veterinarian before giving any medication to your cat.
Common side effects of heart and blood pressure medicine for cats include lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, these side effects are typically rare and mild. If you notice any unusual symptoms in your cat after starting medication, contact your veterinarian.
The frequency of medication administration will depend on the specific medication and your cat's condition. Your veterinarian will provide instructions on how often to give the medication and in what dosage. It's important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the medication is effective and safe.
The length of time your cat will need to be on medication will depend on their condition and response to treatment. Some cats may need to be on medication for the rest of their lives, while others may only need it for a short period of time. Your veterinarian will monitor your cat's progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.

My 14 year old cat has congestive heart failure and hyperthyroidism. She has had her chest tapped twice int he last 2 months taking a significant amount of fluid out. 325ml from left lung and 85ml from right the first and slightly less the second time. The color the first time was like strawberry milk and the second time had an almond milky color. She is having trouble breathing again. Is there anything I can do aside from the Lasik and Propranolol?

My poor Kitty started on a new Heart med called amlodipine 2.5 mg (1/2 tab) I don’t think he’s lathagic but he sure isn’t drinking much water. He was just diagnosed with Moderate cardiac myopathy. He had a drink well drinking fountain but I was tired replacing them..had it for years. Am I stuck supplying fountains? Or is something wrong? He appears to be fine but cats are so good at covering up what’s going on. His name is Olie he’s a Four and a half and a MainCoon. Thank Yo
I have a 15 year old cat, she has high blood pressure, renal failure (early), a heart murmur. She takes amodip and beneforntin. She has had blood in her faeces quite a lot, where our vet diagnosed colitis 2/3 times. Mainly on a fish flavour wet food diet. Changed recently to meat flavour dry food diet. She seems to be depressed and withdrawn will this be due to what's wrong with her or something else? Thank you.
Took my cat to the emergency vet last night. Spent a lot of money. Daisy has sudden severe hypertension, no primary causes found, all labs normal. The amlodipine has not helped her symptoms. Can I double up on her meds?
I am unable to get my cat's prescription of Enalapril 2.5Mg refilled until Tuesday. He is taking 1 pill in the AM and half a pill at night. I gave him half a pill this AM as that's all I had left. So he will not be able to take any tonight, tomorrow or Monday. Should I be worried about him going without the drug for that long? Thanks for any help. I attached 3 pics of him just for your own amusement :)
I say a big, strong and mighty thank you to everyone at Petcoach for helping and guiding me to get the best healthcare for my pet having answered all my questions. Thank you. My vet came to take Stephanie's blood so to do a complete blood work and realised her blood pressure is very very low. My vet recommended hatchwell canovel condition tablets. I cannot find any information anywhere about the vitamin and nutritional composition of the product. Is it any good and are there alternatives?
I am taking my cat to the vet for CKD testing. He has a high level for creatinine from the full blood panel. Are there any holistic supplements for kidney health?
Hello: What medicine suggests to me for my cat with anemia (it is not severe). Suggestions with and without prescription. Please!!!!! I need to know to cure my cat!!!!!! Thanks.
My dog is currently on Vetmedin 1.25mg every 12 hours and Enalapril 1.25mg every 12 hours. He has been on these medications for about 1 and half months and has recently had a few fainting spells. He has an enlarged heart and has a heart murmur. His vet recommended us giving him a half dosage of Vetmedin in between the 12 hours would you recommend this? What are signs that he is getting too much?
My 19 year old Persian cat went blind last December. Took her to a vet..he diagnosed a mitral valve cardiac murmur at 6 and said she looked like she had renal problems also. He prescribed propanolol and k/d diet. K/d didn’t agree with her so I put her on a phosphorus binder. At the vets office her pupils did not react to light and she acted blind. Gradually her pupils have been reacting some to light and she has also started jumping again...she had quit jumping when she went blind.
