MY SHADOW WAS ALSO FELV NEGATIVE.

For two cats that had the blood clot, it was painful - with the last one, it

euthanized because surgery or any other treatment at the time wasn't readily
available. The clot mostly appears in the y area, rendering both legs
incapable of moving. The paws were very cold in all instances. My vet
used blood thinners etc. to dissolve itcat recuperated for about 2
months, then seemed fine, except for the limp on one side. BTW - those were
healthy cats, not FIV/FeLV positive ones. I've never observed FIV+ cats
with weak hind legs, and only had one FeLV+ kitten, that started convulsing
and had to be euthanized. This is the first time that I've had 2 adult FeLV+
cats, and both seem to be extremely healthy, knock on wood! Natalie

Natalie, I've never had a cat with blood clots on a hind leg but I was under
the impression it was very painful. The cat should show signs of being in
pain. Also you can check the back paws. Do they feel warm or cold. If
there is a blood clot the paw would feel cold.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that
CoQ10 causes heart clots - on the
contrary! I questioned the weakness in the hind legs being
possibly caused
by a clot. I've had three cats - two were euthanize
because it happened at
night or a weekend (emergency clinics), and the third cat
was treated by my
vet and survived, although he limps. When I found him
one morning, he
wasn't able to use his hind legs at all. Natalie

Natalie, I give my Pequita 30 mg of CoQ10 every day for her
heart. She is
not FeLV+ but does have CRF and a heart murmur. She
has been getting her
daily dose for 3 yrs now. CoQ10 is highly recommended
on the Yahoo Feline
Heart group. Don't see how it could cause blood
clots.

Has anyone been giving FIV/FeLV
positive cats CoQ10 as a supplement? I get
the GNC vegetarian formula because it's powder in
capsules
which can be
easily opened and sprinkled on their food (others are
in
oil form, not very
easy to use, but can be done by sticking a pin into
the
gelatin capsule and
squeezing it out into the food). I use 50mg for 4 cats
once
a day.
Could it possibly be a blood clot in the fork of the
arteries to hind legs?
However, normally that would mean not being able to
use
hind legs at all.
