Veterinary Medicine: 4 case reports of household toxicity

Undercover Kitty is dedicated to the memory of Lucy, who died at 15 months of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), and Namir, who died at 15 years after a five-year battle with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM); a photo of the two of them, who were great buddies for the brief time they shared, is in the header. For both illnesses, having the internet available to me was invaluable as I could find articles and connect with other people who had cats with the same illnesses, this in turn immensely increasing what I could do for these two, and others. This is in part my payback for all I learned. You can sign up to receive my posts by entering your e-mail address in the sign up box on Undercover Kitty.
