Shadow finally has a Diagnosis
September 29, 2021 12:00 AM
After extensive testing he has a diagnosis. Shadow has been diagnosed with Saddle Thrombus a serious and sometimes fatal complication of heart disease in cats. A blood clot broke loose from his heart and moved to his lower abdomen causing his rear limbs to swell due to a lack of oxygen and nutrients - paralyzing his back legs.
Shadow is being treated for pain, anti-clot medications and fluid therapy. His mom said that today, Shadow stood up for a whole minute without falling over. He is making remarkable progress!
We are praying that the medication dissolves the clot and Shadow keeps improving.
