Hi Laurie,
I tried reading up on this but couldn't find much info. Please let me know if
you have a website you could suggest.
Thanks
Amy

Heather,
Thanks. I checked out the CRF list and it seems we have ruled out most of the
things listed. I initially thought a clot but they don't seem to suspect that.
My regular vet told me that typically comes on pretty suddenly as opposed to
gradually. The vet that did the ultrasound said
Hi Lorrie,
Thanks for the info. That is kind of what I was thinking but didn't know
anybody that's been through it. Wolfie has probably been weak in the legs for
about 2 weeks. I know it's always different with every cat but any sort of
time frame as to how quickly they completely lost the b
For two cats that had the blood clot, it was painful - with the last one, it
didn't seem to be. I forgot that our fist cat in the 70s, also had to be
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
Amy, I've had several cats die from this. First they get weak
in their legs then they can't stand up at all and they soon
lose bowel and bladder control. It seems to be fairly common
with FelV cats. Lesions or tumors on the spine I believe.
Wolfie has been very fortunate to go 6 years with no
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
Two possibilities are: a clot (but if it's gone on for awhile, perhaps not) -
has the kitty be screened for any heart issues, like HCM? they always tell me
to watch for trouble with the back legs with this disease.
Also, I have a kitty who had his legs go out on him and he'd be dragging the
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

group. Don't see how it could cause blood clots.

Has anyone been giving FIV/FeLV positive cats CoQ10 as a supplement? I get

Add some acidophilus (open capsules and use just a tiny bit) to the cat's
food when using anything like Vitamin C or antibiotics - helps with not

Coco's myonecrosis could only be diagnosed by muscle biopsies sent to Texas
or California (I forget which) - it's a specialized process.
