Guest Maddison Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 What a horrible tragedy! I lost a cat just over a month ago to a blood clot most likely. He was fine and then suddenly falling over and not able to get up. He had a little blood in one eye that I noticed and his back legs were completely cold which is what led our vet to believe it was a blood clot and a few "second" opinions confirmed this was most likely the cause of death. The cat was just shy of a year old and seemed healthy otherwise. We had him put to sleep before it got any worse than the falling over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SusanP Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I don't even have words to say how sorry I am. I understand your wanting to understand better what happened to your sweet boy, Jack. I hope someone can explain. Try to remember the happiness he had with you. It is the quality of life, not the length, that matters most, and you gave him the gift of a loving home.

Given that he woke up seemingly fine and with no fever, I am inclined to think that this is what might have happened.

4My2Greys Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I am so sorry for your loss. My friend's greyhound, who also was by all accounts seemed healthy, died suddenly of what the vet believes was a clot and the symptoms sound very similar also. I am so sorry for your loss.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_the4pack Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Oh how AWFUL. As you were discribing what happened I was thinking DIC. It's a clotting disorder. I haven't had that happen to me. But I have lost young ones, suddenly. It hurts so much, like you got sucker punched in the gut. And besides the grief of losing them, there is also the feeling of being cheated. I'm so so sorry.
