TANGO UPDATE:
Her heart murmur was a level 2 (out of 6). She lost about .26 ounces since February so we are watching that closely.
Weight: 5.47 lbs a loss of .26 ounces since February.
Her respiratory rate was slightly elevated to about 60 but she's been holding at home to around 30, so we are hoping she was just stressed out.
We did decide to draw blood which will check on her thyroid levels, kidney's, white/red blood counts and electrolytes. We will have those results in about 2 days.
Tango's care is palliative meaning we will continue to monitor her health and provide comfort care, with minimal tests and procedures , like blood draws, fluids and meds to keep her comfortable.
Hospice care follows with managing her pain until such time we have to say goodbye!
Cats hide pain, so we can only go by her appetite, demeanor overall and food/water intake. So far, she's hanging in there....
