My cat had the blood clot. I left to go down the street, he was fine. By the time I got back, he couldn't use his back legs at all and could tell he was in pain. Breathing very quick. Took him straight in and it was a blood clot that stopped supply to back legs. His back legs were limp and cold and said the chances of it happening again was 95% within 3 months. Even with operating, there wasn't much hope. I bawled my eyes out, I've never heard of such a thing. My poor baby of only 3 years. He looked at me as if he knew, just calm. I cuddled him and cried for 10 minutes, then held him as they put him to sleep. This was 2 months ago and I'm still so shocked and sad about it. I had him cremated so.he is always with me. Thankyou for the informative video.

So sorry everyone who had a cat this happened to. I hadnt heard of this. Only minor symptoms for a day and then bam, cat was paralyzed and in pain. I cant believe mine is gone, he was 7. The cats before him were 21 and 18, so I counted on that. I hope you feel better and understand this is something that is almost NEVER caught in time, it is of no fault of the owner.

This video was tough to watch. Since May of last year, we lost 1 cat to FIP, 1 to CKD, another cat had a bladder stone, and just last week had one cat hospitalized due to heart failure caused by HCM. The universe really trusts me with these ill cats but man does my heart hurt right now. Every time I look at my HCM fighter I just tear up.

I can’t believe I’ve just found this channel.. thank you so much Dr Alex. My 6 year old male cat Philly has cystitis and I’m so stressed as I don’t know what is causing him stress. I’m gonna give all your cat videos a watch and hopefully can provide him a better environment. I nearly lost him from a blocked bladder leading to kidney failure.. :’( I never knew my heart would hurt so much… the insurance company will not cover for urinary problems too as I bought it too late so it’s cost me a fortune to get him better (blocked 2 times within the space of 1 month)… hopefully it won’t be blocked anytime soon as I won’t be able to afford it :(

I learn more and more as I am unlucky to have cats with health issues. Most of them have been managed well and the cats could live long and with good lives. My last cat had saddle thrombus which is mentioned. The progress was fast. I knew about urinary blockage but not this one. This one presented at maybe a beginning of a blockage as having peeing issues, this was because of nerves, but I had never heard of that, so I was not quick to go to the vet. I booked an appointment day after as it seemed like the cat was OKish. As I slept he went downhill and was found lying down in pain. He was taken to the vet but couldnt be saved. He was already very cold and lame in all four legs. This cat had no previous heart problems but sometimes it happens anyway, like maybe 10 %. I feel bad that he was in bad pain for several hours on his own. Poor thing. I do think that the problem is hard to fix as it strikes so fast. From being able to do anything to be paralyzed in a max four hours that I slept. If you lose a cat to this, you could NOT be in time in most cases. So it is not your fault. Love to all kitties out there.

A saddle thrombus strikes out of the blue in most cases in my experience with no prior concerns about heart problems being present. It really is a horrible condition and I'm sorry you and your cat were struck with it

@@OurPetsHealth I hope he knows I loved him. The only thing I did wrong is to not feed him according to his weight. For some reason he got chunky from not eating much. It says that overweight can contribute. In hindsight I should have had a specialist look at him to see what problem he was born with, but I went with the first vet's recommendation, to just love him no matter how old he gets. As he was suspected Klinefelters.

My 5 year old cat was fine, eating the same… running, jumping and rolling on his back for pets but then one day suddenly his back legs became completely paralysed and lost control of his bladder. The nearest out of hours vet refused to take him in so we had to beg family to take us to a further away vet and it was the most traumatising thing I’ve ever dealt with. My poor Jager was euthanised as the vet said he was very unlikely to recover and it is one of the most painful things to happen. He had aortic thromboembolism.

Hello buddy 👋 Dr Alex I am having a problem with arnold for the longest time he has been breathing fast my vet said that he has to much fat around his heart I took him to see her Friday I think it was and she found a heart murmur and she thought his belly stuck out more than normal she thinks he has fluid in him so she put him on fouresmide twenty mg twice a day and I'm to measure his stomach once a week and tell her the results so she said if his belly shrinks then he has fluid buildup and then she said that she would put him on heart meds so it's a guessing game I guess... take care of yourself buddy 👍👌 👊🤜🤛🐕🐕

That's rubbish for you both David. I'm sorry to hear that. If there is still any doubt then there is also a blood test that can help pick up heart failure ( although the results can sometimes not be conclusive ) and Google sleeping respiratory rate as this is a useful at home monitoring technique

@@OurPetsHealth ok thanks Dr Alex..he had blood work done about two months ago and everything was ok except I remember her saying that something about his liver was off but that was because of his very high cholesterol and sugar levels I don't know what to do I figured she would know more about what is going on with him she has been a vet for thirty three years now he breaths just as fast when he is sleeping as he is awake.. something has got to be done I can't loose Arnold or I will just loose the will to live I'll just tell you because loosing bigfoot has really took a lot out of me I'm just as hurt today as I was when it happened.. you are ever so right on with your slogan saying because they are family and that's so very true in my case they are my life.. Arnold still gets around good but I can't get him to loose any weight it just drives me nuts trying to get him to loose weight and hell he gains besides loosing and I have told my neighbors I said absolutely do not feed him because he is borderline diabetic and I don't want to loose him and from what I can see they haven't been feeding him anything he will be eleven years old Xmas day so he is getting older but he isn't too far from bigfoot in age not hardly four years.. I'm not for sure my vet is telling me everything about him because she knows how I feel about him and bigfoot maybe she doesn't want me to worry idk but she did say that he has to loose a lot of weight or he won't be here much longer she did have a long sit down with me and she wanted to know exactly what brand of wet dog food I give him and everything in between she said no more than seven hundred calories and I told her I give him a can of dog food every morning and it has over four hundred calories and then he eats a cup and half of kibbles and bits dry dog food of the night and she added up the calories from it and the dry and it was like eleven hundred calories so way to much and she said whatever I give him in between meals that is why he isn't loosing weight...I know one thing he could always out eat bigfoot he always did have a powerful big appetite but I have made changes now and I hope it works if not I'm just screwed I guess to say it like it is..idk it's very disheartening Dr Alex... thank you very much for your help Dr Alex you are the best I wish we were closer so you can be my vet for Arnold .🐕🤙

Hello Dr Alex I thought I'd let you know what is going on with Arnold I took him to the doctor Friday and she said that he has a lot of fluid in his abdomen and she said that she was going to drain it and she started it and she got nothing but blood and she stopped and said that he needs a ultrasound to see what is going on with him so she said that she was going to call another vet in the nearby city which is Madison county the city of Richmond. She is going to call me when she gets him a appointment and she said that when she gets him the appointment for me to bring him down there and she said that she was going to close down the clinic for the day and go with us she said that All of them were going to go also she has three workers besides herself she must think it's bad with her going also.. right now arnold is doing pretty good..I hope he doesn't have cancer and I mentioned it to her and she said just hold on don't start worrying about something that might not be but I can't help it I'm a worry wart.. take care buddy 👍

Already got a dog. :) Now looking for a new cat. My cat will always be in my heart, even with another cat coming in, he is never replaced. The love you get from a dog or cat is worth the pain when they leave you. Sorrow is the tax for love.
