Hi - I'm writing about a family member's cat who has suddenly become very ill. A few days ago, Danno overnight became very withdrawn - he's normally extremely sociable, sweet, and affectionate - and has become very lethargic. Oddly, he's eating very well, and when he does get up from his cat...

Hi, I have a Bengal cat who is 5 years old, she was diagnosed with a systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve causing a severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction often caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and is on medication for it. About a month ago, I woke up and...

...sure her lungs were back to normal and they were. It happened so fast. I am thinking from what I have read that it may have been saddle thrombus, would anyone have any ideas? We probably will never know fully without an autopsy but we didn't want to do that to her. She was in good health...

Hello, it’s been a long year for Michaleto, my 11 yr old male cat. Last April, out of the blue, I came home one day to find him jump out of his cat tower , run around in circles chasing his tail, stop, let out a howl, then take a few steps and fall over to his size and have what we assumed was...

Hi, I found this forum while I was searching about saddle thrombus and I thought I’d write my own since it helped me to read others of what they experienced and I’m still coping with my 10year old cat Chi who went through this on Saturday and crossed the bridge. Please be warned that it...is bit...

Anyone have experience with Saddle Thrombus / Feline Aortic Thromboembolism / FATE? Have done a little Google reading already - looking to hear about first hand accounts.

I have a cat that goes outside and comes inside. Few days ago she started having pain i legs and stoped using 2 legs. She is clearly in pain. Does anyone know what that is and is there I possibility I can help her? Help please!!

I have posted a few times here about my ginger cat - my best friend. He was feral and after abortive attempts to get him into the vet, finally the vet gave me some Gabagentin to sedate him enough to allow him to be put into a cat carrier and brought to the vet. He has been poorly for some time...

My heart is shattered. I lost my three year old Lillian suddenly on Thursday and I have no idea how to process this. It all happened so fast. Last Monday evening she was fine- playing, eating, normal. Tuesday morning she didn't want breakfast and when I got home from work she seemed lethargic...

...euthanize? I did want to trust her but I wonder if the treatment could have possibly helped her? Does anyone have experience with saddle thrombus? This sudden onset of symptoms all at once? I still don't understand why there weren't any prior symptoms. Looking for closure. My dear Lily was...

I'm sad to report that this morning I found 2.5 year old Little Red in my yard with a saddle thrombus. I thought he had been hit by a car since he couldn't move his back legs but the ER identified it right away since his feet were cold. We did an X-ray to confirm he was already in heart...

I awoke to him meowing in a distressed manner, like a cat does before vomiting. He was dragging his hind legs on the floor, trying to get to the kitchen. Froth appeared at sides of mouth, and he was trying to vomit. His screaming was very distressing as I tried to call the vet. I felt so...

Hi, new here and just wondering if anyone here has had a cat survive saddle thrombus? Ours had possibly 3 blood clots last weekend, only one of which affected his back legs, he didn't seem to be in a lot of pain and regained full use of his legs days later. Also, his last clot, he lifted his...

Hi! We have a 14 months old spayed calico (her name is Quincy), and 2 months ago we got a then 11-week old tabby boy (His name is Popo.) Popo is now neutered, 4,5 months old. We've been introducing them for 2 months now with the Jackson Galaxy method, and Quincy still hasn't accepted the...

I wasn’t ready for this…. It just happened so suddenly and I am in shock. Saddle thrombus decided to take my boy from me yesterday without any warning or signs prior(at-least to my knowledge). He was laying with me all day which is not unusual and then after I fed them, my daughter realized...

We are in such a mess with Grey. We finally got a large cell lymphoma diagnosis based on ultrasound by an internal medicine specialist. Three FNA were inconclusive. The oncologist at the same hospital was comfortable starting chemo without surgical biopsy. After one week Grey had reduction in...

Is anyone using Xarelto to treat HCM, and can you share your experience with this drug? Your cat’s circumstances, dosage, side effects, etc. Feedback would be very much appreciated. There are virtually no clinical studies of Xarelto in cats—just found one small published study to date. The...

...away at home. Does anyone know what this could have been? Was it old age and her arthritis? (She was 16 and 4 months). I thought of saddle thrombus, but the second time we saw the vet I specifically asked to check her for that and they said it wasn’t because she had a good pulse in her back...

Hi, I lost my cat suddenly this past Saturday morning and I am struggling and just trying to make sense of what happened. She has never had a seizure in her life and I have never seen one take a cats life within minutes the way that it did with my cat. I am shocked, traumatized, and confused. My...
