Re: Experience of HCM and congestive heart failure

It’s amazing that your little girl dissolved the clot and it must have been so devastating to have lost her after having got through something so huge. The website...

Re: Experience of HCM and congestive heart failure

I keep wondering if I had looked out sooner if there would have been a chance he could have survived it but the vet nurse said in 17 years she's never seen a clot dissolve...
