My cat was diagnosed with saddle thrombosis.After 23 hours care in veterinary clinic breathing problems improved completely, but circulation and blood flow in back legs show no improvement and they recommended euthanasion, can you tell me what is approximate period of time to get blood flow and circulation back to his legs? Thanks

According to the descriptions, my cat has Aortic Thromboembolism. Except it is only a partial obstruction because only one leg is affected. It appears she is not experiencing pain but is breathing at abnormal rates. She is eating and drinking properly still. Doctors said if its a blood clot then there is no hope. I was wondering if there is any chance for my cat in surviving.

My cat was diagnosed with idiopathic cardiomyopathy about 18 months ago. He is almost 16. Tonight he partially collapsed/listed to one side as he was walking up the stairs. He seemed a bit shaky for a few minutes, but then recovered and was eating and drinking normally. His back paws are pink, and his legs feel warm. He hasn't been crying or anything, but he did seem a bit out of sorts (tail down, walking gingerly).

Sudden onset of paralysis in back legs. Took him to vet and they did x-rays and blood work. Checked blood flow to hind legs also. Vet said everything checked out ok and doesn't know why he can't use back legs. Doesn't drink anything. Wants to move, but can't. Vet said to bring back in 3 days, bit doesn't seem he will last. What's wrong with Garfield?

Our 3 year old feral rescue loved the outdoors. He found us about a year ago and after ignoring him for a couple of weeks, I saw he was skin and bones so I broke down and started feeding him... he never left. Our backyard was his kingdom. We live in Central PA and we have sub-zero temps over the winter so we provided him with a heated cathouse under our gazebo. He would bring us gifts of mice and an occasional chipmunk. This afternoon, just a few hours after watching him run round our deck lole a fool, we found him wailing, his breathing was labored and he had no use of his hind legs. We took him to a trusted veterinarian who performed a full physical exam and said he showed symptoms of an aortic thromboembolism. Though he had been swaddled in a warm blanket for almost 30 minutes as we transported him and waited to be seen, His back paws were ice cold and the skin around his rear toes was turning purple while his front paws were warm with pink skin. Due to the extreme pain he was in, the poor chance of survival and the likelihood that additional clots would form in the future if he survived this episode, we made the difficult decision to euthanize.

My beautiful Fat Stinka baby, was an indoor outdoor cat, my husband found her way too late. She was using her front legs to crawl to my husband crying. he initially thought she was hit by a car at the looks of her condition. we rushed her to the vet where she began to tell us what it was. My babygirl was in so much shock and pain she was already dying when we made the terribly hard decision to lay her to rest. the vet brought her in for a last meeting and said she would possibly pass on her own. She continued to cry and as a mother i just wanted her no longer in pain. we called in the vet and laid her to rest. It all made so much sense now that i have looked into this. She was a chunky cat hence her name, but she was wild and majestic. my poor baby! its been 2 days still coping. her cat siblings are all feeling the sadness as well..
