Re: [Felvtalk] Darcy Is An Angel Now
My first FeLV kitty to die had the rear legs stop working and he was unable to eliminate on his own. They checked and it was not a clot, they believed it to be a neurological problem. Most cats with a clot are - as you described - in a lot of pain. With my boy there didn't seem to be any pain. I have seen several others post about similar problems in FeLV cats, I guess it is one of the things that can happen to them.

Re: [Felvtalk] Darcy Is An Angel Now
This happened to my sister in laws 18 year old cat and they gave the meds to dissolve clots (don't know what you would need anesthesia for), my SIL had to express her kitties bladder and do physical therapy on his back legs for about a month but after her kitty was back to normal and lived another 2 years. Sometimes the clots will reoccur but didn't in her kitties case. if you get to the hospital fast enough, can remove/dissolve the clot releaving the pain and paralysis. not so with an older cat, they usually cannot take the anethesia. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... http://bemikitties.com http://BelindaSauro.com ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

I hope Darcy has been to the vet by now, as something is definitely wrong. It sounds like she might have an infection. Please keep us posted on her condition.
