Update and THANK YOU
This is an update to this post.
Mackie has been home a week now. We are still working with the cardiologist to find the best level of medication to prevent/slow down fluid build up (pleural effusion) again. He is very happy to get tasty treats (Pill Pockets) 2-3 times a day as well as gooshy food.
The cardiologist needs his breaths to stay under 40/minute. I find myself counting his breaths constantly.
MeiMei, the Maine Coon we adopted him with, is with him constantly - sleeping or grooming. If he has the biggest face I have ever seen, hers is the smallest. Seriously, a 7lb Maine Coon is TINY.
I will keep trying to remember to post here, but the best place for updates is the twitter I set up for him: @MackieBigFace
Thank you to everyone who donated. We've already raised almost a quarter of the vet bill so far. It makes such a difference. I can't thank you enough.
