My precious baby FAng

HE was fine this morning, and then he couldn't walk, dragging the hind legs. we went to ER and she said she was 99% sure he had a saddle thombsus, and the prognosis was poor. He was in pain. I am so sad, my poor fang, I loved him so much. I though maybe he had fallen, or sprained something. I feel so guilty. HE was not showing any symptoms, except he stopped running down the basement steps when I would go down. he would wait at the top for me. I just thought he was getting old and tired, did not give it a thought to take him to the vet then. he was eating, drinking, everything was normal for him.
He was only 6 years old. HE was a resue cat and lived outside during a very severe winter when he was young. My poor baby. I loved him so much. HE was so sweet, he would groomnhis brothers. I miss him. my head hurts from crying so much.

I am so sorry for your loss. Fang was a beauty. I hope in time your memories will bring you gladness. Fang, rest in peace. You were a loved cat.

Aww sweetie I am soo, soo sorry for your loss of Fang.

I've been reading on the HCM. It usually goes undiagnosed. I did notice sublte symptoms now that I know what they are. HE appeared healthy up until he threw the clot. I can't stop crying. I wish I had noticed, wish I had taken him to the vet. I didn't know. he was only 6. I loved him so much.

You had no way to know. Please stop beating yourself over the head. Try to remember you gave him a happy life for the time he lived with you. It is so so hard when something like this happens suddenly. I lost my soulmate Max to acute kidney failure. It was awful. Just remember we are here for you. PM if I can help you any way. Hugs.

thanks here are some picks





grooming his brothers. He always did that, and they loved it.

Way too young too cross!

Dottie's baby Truman was only about 6 when that happened to him. We fought it for a month, but he just wasn't getting better, and he was really miserable. If I knew then what I know now, I would have done the kind thing for him almost immediately and save him a lot of suffering and frustration.

the vet painted a rather bleak picture since it was both legs. I thought about the whole thing, and thought this was the best to do. IT seems that HCM can go undetected unitl something like this happens. He had teeth removed in 07, so I know he had a heart workup then before they put him under for anesthesia.

Oh, honey. I am SOOOO sorry! RIP, sweet Fang!

My daughter lost her cat Eddie to this suddenly as well. So, be aware that you did the right thing for Fang.

What a beautiful boy he was.

I hope in time you can look back with a smile. Many hugs to you. Don't beat yourself up. These things happen. It was from nothing you did or didn't do.

Fang knows that and he knows how very much he was loved. It is obvious he had a good, safe home.

God Bless you.

I'm SO sorry. Fang was a beautiful boy, and now he's no longer in pain, and can use his legs again, so at least he's happy to be over the bridge. I'ts just such a shock when it's so sudden and you don't have time to prepare. Please don't blame yourself. It sounds like something very hard to treat, even if you had been able to detect any symptoms of it coming. Rest in peace, beloved Fang.

i'm so sorry! he was so young & handsome
