Unfortunately my 12 year old cat has developed saddle thrombosis, meaning she is currently unable to feel/use her back legs as a blood clot is blocking blood flow to her hind legs and tail. Her paws are cold and I am told it is extremely painful. The blood clot was most likely a result of a pre-existing heart murmur condition, and this particular episode began when she was fighting with my other cat.

I took her to the vet yesterday, as quickly as I could, they've started her on oxygen and fluid treatment to try and help her dissolve the blood clot. They're also giving her painkillers.

I'm really distressed as I've had to leave her there over night and I don't know what's going to happen, but I think she is getting the best possible care and treatment. I'm already mourning since I know the prognosis is very poor.

:cry:

I was woken at 3am and had strong visions of my cat surrounded by warm, powerful golden energy and I really hope she will recover. It is so sad that she was taken from her home and may not return.
 
She'll be fine. Things like these happen and will happen. You made sure she gets the best treatment. Bless her with positive energy, but do not stress her body too much. Don't overdo. Be optimistic, either way she'll have a better situation in the future.

You can also contact Bastet, she is a wonderful and superb Goddess and she responds quickly and very powerful. She loves SS and cats, do contact Her. I am infinitely thankful to Her.

Thank you. I plan to bring her home today and do exactly that. Bastet also fills me with reassurance. Since her physical recovery now rests beyond medical intervention, I will try to take care of her myself and give her required energies.

It has been suggested that she may have to be euthanised if she does not regain function of her hind legs, since there is still no sign of blood flow, and she is very unlikely to survive surgical removal or amputation.

Keep optimistic and make her happy with lots of love and food. It sounds terrible the alternative, but do keep me updated.

Quick update

She's getting better now, her legs are a bit weak but she is able to walk on them with care. Each day is an improvement.

Some of the meds she was prescribed to thin blood and increase pump strength of the heart are questionable. They both reduce appetite, but require to be taken with food. I had to stop giving them to her to encourage her to eat - she is having very small amounts of food.

The discharging vet advised me to give her 75mg of aspirin each day, but this amount - I've read - is toxic, and should be given every three days, not daily. I'd also much rather give her something developed (or at least more effective) for cats. Therefore, I'm going to get her and her long term treatment plan verified by a secondary vet.
 
Do NOT stop giving the meds, specially the blood thinning one!

Consider performing a healing working for extended periods of time. Get it started as soon as you possibly can. Ask the Gods to guide you through it if you are inexperienced with such workings.

I am not sure about aspirin even though it has blood thinning properties.

From what I understand, for this condition you would need a medicine mix, the most important being the blood thinner. Usually clopidogrel 75mg which is human medicine that you buy at the pharmacy (daily dose 1/4 of a tablet), something to stabilize heart rate and something diuretic to promote release of extra fluids that build up due to the heart not being able to pump properly. But I am not a veterinarian so you should confirm with your vet if this is good for your cat.

For a while the cat will need a serious painkiller, because this is extremely painful. But the vet has probably already explained that to you. The pain also reduces the appetite so you have to be very patient for a while, try several [good quality] wet foods, make sure she also drinks water. You might have to use a syringe with water/food for a while. Look up the right amount of water, as too much is equally harmful.

Be patient and try to not make her too much uncomfortable with this procedure.

The medicine is a challenge both on you and the cat. In some cats it has to be forced down their throats, every single day. Be prepared to get scratched and bitten. It gets easier with time. Don't despair. Look up Easypill. See if you can find it.

Good food is extremely important right now, do your own research on this, you need food low on minerals so that it doesn't overwhelm the kidneys, and consequently the heart. Renal foods are usually good, but stay away from cheap stuff like Royal canin and all that crap. Depending on where you are from, there could be different options some more expensive than others, ask your vet about this but do research what is in the suggested food and what it does to the cat.

Whatever the vet tells you, do what NakedPluto told you, it is very very important to be optimistic. Do not dwell on worst case scenarios and have faith in the Gods and in your own ability. She can feel if you are being negative or positive about this, so make sure to always be positive.

Thanks for bolding that message BlackOnyx8, I got straight to it and gave her the meds. She's actually quite good at taking the pills, but I do feel cruel doing it, even though I know it's the best for her health.

I've spoken to another vet, and she also advised to continue the meds as she will be OK without food for a few days. And also to not give her aspirin yet. They will do a scan to take a look at her heart and the clot if it's still there tomorrow. They will then advise of a suitable medicine mix, I do believe this will include clopidogrel as you said (which she is currently on).

Apparently, she's no longer in any pain - although not sure how they know this. She does seem quite bright, just very slow/unsure about walking.

I think she may have had a drink in the night, and maybe some dry food - not 100% sure. I did give her some water in a syringe as well. I usually give her the best quality wet food I can get hold of anyway (applaws) - and she usually loves it! Even the vet suggested trying it, but no, she turns away from it currently. So she also advised warming it up. I'll give it a shot.

Yes NakedPluto's advice was very much appreciated as always, and I do believe it has helped tremendously. I will also perform extended healing work as suggested.
 
They can go without food but it is definitely not advisable. Make sure she eats everyday.

I meant veterinary food, or some sort of natural food. Just make sure the mineral levels are very low, and it has all the necessary nutrients, specially taurine.

I am unsure if you are aware of what happened very recently in the UK, but read this:
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/aug/05/toxic-cat-food-fear-as-vets-struggle-with-mysterious-illness

I personally would never give Applaws to any cats. Although the issue seems to be solved now, hundreds of cats died, owners were plunged into debt with veterinary bills and nobody ever took responsibility, not the company, not the factory.
 

She was given an appetite stimulant gel yesterday and ate quite a bit of food. I may have to apply this myself if she doesn't start eating daily.

I did see the mentioned report for several foods recently, however it only applies to a suspect batch of dry foods, whereas she has the Applaws wet food (chicken strips) which are 100% natural. It's also a good source of taurine since it's made with 75% muscle meat/fibres. I think the recalled dry foods (several brands) were all made in the same supplier (shared) factories - and I agree that it's appalling that no corporation took responsibility for this - such is the nature of corporations, whose primary interest is profit. There's no place for this in food manufacturing or medicine. This is the world we are living in unfortunately.

Anyway, she seems to be making a good recovery and a heart scan yesterday helped the vet prescribe the ideal medicine mix for her condition (HCM). Unfortunately it is likely to happen again even with treatment but I'm glad she's OK for now and will be giving her extra love and healing energies for the foreseeable.

Thanks for your support NakedPluto & BlackOnyx8

Something worth checking out is The One Minute Cure and listen to your intuition on whether or not you should administer it as a treatment to your cat.

You can find a PDF at the bottom of the Satanic Healing page.
 

I thought about it for a while before writing this....
A couple of years ago the exact same thing happened to my old cat. One day unexpectedly he would not walk with his back legs. Initially my father thought he had been hit by a car or something but when we took him to the vet he told us it was thrombosis. We left him at the vet overnight for treatment even though it was quite expensive for us and the vet was not very optimistic. Unfortunately the treatment was not successful and he would not be able to walk on his hind legs again. And in this case the vet suggested the same thing to us...it was not a happy ending. (He would have gotten worse over time and not survived).

I am not a boy who cries much however that situation broke my heart. I with my mom stayed close to my cat until the end. I held him by the leg and cuddled him until the last look he gave me. it was one of the rare situations where I asked Gods help and turned to Satan directly. I prayed that they would take care of his soul.

My whole family cried for days because we loved him so very much. His absence was felt. We didn't know if we had made the right decision. My mom was devastated she thought it was her fault and that the cat was mad at her. She's very sensitive like me.

One peculiar thing...on the morning of that sad day I was rushing out of the house because I could have missed the bus for work. When I was leaving my old cat was standing on the couch staring at me. A little while later I thought " geez I didn't even say hi" and inwardly I thought who knows if maybe one day I won't be able to say hi to him again. So I quickly went back just to say hi and cuddle with him. Then in the evening my father came to pick me up from work and gave me the bad news. He had heard the cat meowing really loudly outside while he was crawling.... he immediately took him to the vet. There are lots of green spaces in my neighborhood and our cat was used to going out and coming home on his own every day.
That morning it's like I had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen, and unfortunately it came true. It wasn't the first time I "felt" something coming on.

It took us a while but we eventually got over it. We were very attached to him. We now have a new cat that also looks a little like our old one and we are taking good care of him.

Hearing that the treatment was successful with your cat makes me happy. I hope he will be fine in the end and always follow your vet's instructions. Always take care of him they have feelings like us.
Surely giving him some healing energy could be very helpful. I had no chance to do that, I tried to visualize a golden light around him but I wouldn't have been powerful enough. It all happened too fast, in the space of a day and by the time I found out he was already in a critical situation.
 
Bless your Satanic cat. I bet the cat is really happy to have you. Keep optimistic and clean the cats aura daily, gently. When you pet, have your hand engulfed in gold energy.

Feel your love engulfing the cat, with absolute positive and benefic intentions.
 
Update: My cat had another episode of Saddle Thrombosis a couple of weeks ago and sadly despite best efforts, she had to be euthanised. She lived an extra 18 months where most are euthanised, so I am happy about that.

Surely she found instantly a new life on earth. 18 months is very good.

May I ask you.. Is your cat overweight?

Blood clots, arteriosclerosis, diabetes along with many other cardiovascular diseases, as well as poor joint health etc, is very often a result of too much insulin in the system.

She was quite slim actually, I would say ideal weight! Not sure what caused the heart disease, but I think she had a good life either way.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and your help during the first episode of saddle thrombosis.
