Sorry Mrs D for tardy response, I didn't think there were any more answering posts so didn't check.

No, he is not on statins and he has eaten fish a couple of times per week for years, I am not sure about the Omega 3 content of all the species though. Omegas might help any inflammation though.

It is too late to 'fix' anything but just wondered if anything could help ease the terrible dyspnea. Hes not just sitting around waiting to die, hes a brave old guy and was told 25 years ago to stop work and put his affairs in order to die in 5 years and he started exercising and has lived a full life since then. He is so short of breath now he can barely walk but is still doing upper body exercises trying to come back. Calming herbs of any kind? Mullein?

BTW, great cat and flower pic.
