On presentation, Grey is depressed but responsive. Ears are clean. Cornea, conjunctiva, anterior chamber, and sclera are clear. Mucous membranes are pink, with a CRT of 1 seconds. Breath sounds are audible dorsally and absent ventrally.
Heart is difficult to auscult.
Ascites is present, making abdominal palpation difficult. No masses or organomegaly detected. Grey was diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy sixteen months ago, after being treated for chylothorax over 3-4 months. Given the prior diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy, it is most likely that this cat is in congestive heart failure. Offer free choice food and water.
