What is the prognosis for a cat with congestive heart failure who has fluid in te abdomen and lungs?
I am sorry to say medically speaking (I am not a vet, but have done the research) that your cat has a very serious problem which will eventually lead to the demise of your pet. However, some pets are miracles in themselves when it comes to having a zest for life and love for their owner and have shocked vets by living much longer than anticipated. Have quality of time with your pet and be in good contact with your vet to be sure of what your cat's condition is from week-to-week or at least every 10 days.
10 year old Beagle who is under the care of a vet He has congestive heart failure He is on Antibiotics water pills thyroid pills and enalperal stopped eating six days ago drinks water why wont he eat?
I am very sorry to hear about your beloved pet and I know it's not easy to see them ill. I've had to go through this several times myself with many of my past pets. Congestive heart failure is biding for time with your pet. The vet is doing everything he/she can. It's time you went and saw your vet and simply told him/her that when they think your pet is no longer enjoying life and their health problems are causing them stress to let you know when to put your pet to sleep. I know this is heart breaking, but the pet owner must have empathy as to how much their pet is suffering. Dogs are much like people and when they have Congestive heart failure their appetite can go down a great deal and also it could be the signs of your pet's heart simply giving out. When the heart is this bad it affects other organs and it's simply a matter of time. Generally the heart is surrounded by fluid and the dog may go into pneumonia. I had a Cairn Terrier (the love of my life) and she had Cushing's Disease (cancer.) I had the lump removed, but she was never quite the same after that. Our vet suggested cancer treatment, but I read enough about it that I decided not to go down this road (not because of money issues) but the quality of our beloved pet's few good years left. We discussed this with our vet and my husband and I slowed down our pace of life and spent quality of time with our Daisy. We had wonderful times together and every couple of weeks I'd take her in mainly to be sure she was not in pain. She never was and she became very ill 10 months later (on a long weekend of course) and we had to rush her off to ER. We stayed with her for hours and it was evident that she wouldn't be with us much longer and we were there when she was put to sleep. We were heart-broken, but thankful she didn't have to suffer any longer. Please talk candidly to your vet and go from there.
How long does heart disease last?
I don't know but brain damage occurs after 3 minutes. Heart failure means that your heart can no longer pump blood adequately through the heart and out to the rest of the body. The blood literally "backs up" into the pulmonary system (lungs) and your lungs become too fluid filled to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. This process deprives your body's tissues/organs from the oxygen it needs and they begin to fail. This can be a very slow process if it is a chronic condition, or it can occur very quickly depending on how quickly the heart function is failing, and why (example: heart failure due to chronic high blood pressure or heart attack which results in heart tissue death)
How long is the life span for someone that has heart failure?
In March of 2007 I had a massive heart attack, I woke with a balloon pumping my heat for two days. As a result of the severe damage to my heart my ejection fraction was 15%. A follow up visit to my Dr I was given a second stint and after my consultation with my Dr I asked squarely how long did I have to live. He said if every thing was equal I could expect to live perhaps 4 more years. However within 6 months I could barely walk and my EF was about 12%. Fortunately I received a transplant and now my EF is around 60%. Please understand the biggest risk for such low EF is the shutting down of other organs especially the kidneys. Please get with your Dr and discuss your options. Low ejection fraction is nothing to ignore. taylor26101@yahoo.com

Should Gatorade be drunk for a colonoscopy for someone with congestive heart failure?
No, the doctor will not give him Gatorade for preparing for a colonoscopy. At the visit before the colonoscopy, he will be given very specific directions as to what to eat and drink the days and night before. If he follows those, he should be fine after the procedure. Usually clear liquids are recommended, and Gatorade has coloring.

How do creatine supplements affect blood pressure during weight training?
High Cholesterol A preliminary study suggests that creatine supplements may help lower levels of blood lipids (cholesterol) in men and women with abnormally high concentrations of lipids in their blood. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) In a few studies of people with congestive heart failure, those who took creatine (in addition to standard medical care) had significant improvement in symptoms and exercise capacity compared to those who received placebo. A February 2002 study published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports & Exerciseexamined 15 males and 15 females in a randomized, double-blind experiment that administered 20 grams of creatine per day for five days. There was no increase in blood pressure among the subjects receiving creatine. Considering the limited amount of clinical studies in this area, this single study should not be interpreted as conclusive.
