2001年3月2日 · Sorry to hear about your friends cat. Chylothorax is fluid build up in the pleural space. It is found more in siamese and himalayin cats. It is an uncommon disorder caused by trauma to the chest or increased pressure to the pleural duct or veins. Symptom is labored breathing. I have never encountered it in my cats.

2006年4月17日 · In addition, a cat with idiopathic chylothorax really should not be left alone at all for any extended length of time.The cat should be boarded at a 24 hour vet hospital, or at the very least, have a skilled pet sitter come in three times a day.

2022年7月4日 · My little cat is fighting hard (still doing his walk in the garden, still playing if stimulated, still eating) and except from chylothorax, he has recovered well from the pericardiectomy.

2022年11月21日 · My cat has been breathing heavily lately so I took him to an emergency vet yesterday to find out he has chylothorax and the vet recommended euthanasia. I was absolutely devastated, he's only 5 years old and has always been healthy and happy so to hear that news was shocking. I begged for...

2011年7月12日 · He once again drained 150ml when we took her today. The vet said the fluid should have lessened more than that, and now suspects chylothorax. He sent samples of the fluid off to a lab for testing, but we won't know anything until Friday or so. Pyothorax sounds like a grim enough diagnosis, but chylothorax sounds even worse.

2015年10月4日 · My 13 year old grey and white short hair male cat was just diagnosed today with Chylothorax. We're still waiting for some tests to come back, however the initial thoughts from the team that treated him last night and today are that we're …
