My 15 year old cat Shadow was just using his litter box 5 minutes ago and seemed to be standing oddly. When he got out his back legs went all wobbly and he just lost the use of them. Any clues on what would cause this?
Arterial ThromboembolismCats that have formed a saddle thrombus typically appear paralyzed, unable to move the rear legs. They are often vocalizing due to severe pain. When touched, the back legs are often cold and stiff, and sometimes there is panting and trouble breathing.
Due to the time sensitive nature of the irreversible consequences of saddle thrombus, as well as the severe pain that saddle thrombus causes, it is strongly recommended that one seek immediate veterinary care for one's cat if saddle thrombus is suspected.
