Thank you. CBC panel iron was normal. I will read up on feline iron deficiency anemia for the future. There is a Ferr phos dosing protocol in Catwell files.

 Subject: [Minutus] Feline with racing heart
 A friend brought her kitty to veterinary ICU at 3 this
 morning and is at
 a loss for what to do. Marley is on oxygen for extreme
 shortness of breath and has a galloping heart rhythm, they
 thought perhaps cardiomyopathy.
 He's not stable to transfer to a Cardiology Vet.
 She doesn't give up easily on a kitty, and rarely puts a
 kitty to sleep.The bill is already more than is affordable
 but she wants to do all she can for him if there are hopeful
 options.  
 This friend's household has been under extreme stress
 for the past month, this  could be in part a reaction to
 the stress. She's living in a motel while a third of her
 house was demolished, treated for water damage and mold and
 is now being rebuilt. Her kitties had to be confined to much
 smaller areas than they are used to, and the constant noise
 and constant schedule changes are taking a toll on all of
 them. She is an RN and is a Feline Rescue now without any
 income until the house is back to normal and she  returns
 to work. She's very receptive to suggestions from anyone
 who has had experience with rapid heart symptoms in kitties
 without having to move Marley as he is on oxygen.
 I apologize if this posting is not appropriate for this
 group. There can be a delayed posting time in the Catwell
 group where I've also posted. Thank you, best
 regards,
 Nan
