Our first furry Monty was lame on his RH and treated in house for three days but given a poor prognosis. He came home and had 3 weeks with us but one after noon I heard a thud and he d fallen off the windowsill . His whole back end had collapsed but he managed to drag himself towards us pity fully meowing . Heartbreaking as it was I wrapped him in his blanket and drove straight to work where my lovely boss put him to sleep . It was horrible as he was extra special having survived a near fatal dog attack 6 years previously . I am so sorry for you as ive been through it with poor Monty . Hang on in there

Thanks for your kind thoughts.Was offered referral but I have seen so many that dont do well.Also Wilson was not the sort of cat that would have been happy cooped up in a cage. He will be sorely missed by 2 other furpals.

Have only ever seen straightforward saddle thrombus but just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss. Try not to be turning everything over in your head and beating yourself up over not having foreseen this - it would never have crossed my mind to worry about that happening

Lost my 8 year old cat to iliac thrombus yesterday.He had been lame on his right fore leg for a couple of days prior to collapsing.Has anyone else had experience of foreleg lameness before "saddle thrombus" occurring.We have seen two recently.

sadly yes - Catweazle one of my own a long time ago. Foreleg lameness for a couple of days which was investigated including rads but we ended up treating as a suspected bite wound as he was always fighting and ending up with CBA's and we just couldn't come up with any other reason for the lameness - I lost him a couple of days after. Sorry for your loss I remember how I felt when I lost 'cat'
