Aloha,
"Poki" survived a blood clot over 3 years ago and has been on 18.75mg clopidogrel and aspirin ever since. Her checkups are very encouraging as it seems she is responding well to the clopidogrel. My Vet office acquired a new cardiologist who suggested I drop and aspirin and add 2.5mg Xarelto. It is very expensive but I can get the drug from Canada and have is compounded and the cost would be manageable. Problem is that "Poki" also has Triaditis which is a liver/kidney disease. Seems that Xarelto may not be the best medication for a cat with liver issues. Is anyone else on Xarelto? Is it worth the risk for a cat with Triaditis?
