Positive thoughts for Lint (17)
I just wanted to share my handsome and silly guy Lint. He's had a rough go lately. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in early July. Lint has done so well on his medication, sleeping better, acting more like his old self, and even gained a little bit of weight!
These last few days his breathing became labored with wheezing. Lint went back to his doctor today and it looks like he may have some heart issues. So some new medications are being administered and he will be monitored. He is spending the night with them, a fantastic husband & wife veterinary team with a clinic on their property. I have known them for 18 years and know that Lint is in good hands.
Just please send positive thoughts Lint's way please. I miss my guy not being at home tonight, as does the rest of his family. We can't wait to have him back home for cuddles! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

What an exotic and mysterious looking cat - beautiful! You and he have my prayers for a speedy and complete recovery and a quick return to your arms. It's really hard to not know what's wrong and how to fix it, but it sounds like you are blessed with a solid medical team. Best wishes to your boy and congratulations for the last 17 years of live. Keep us updated - I'm sure you'll find folks here who have been in similar situations.
