Feline Emergency: FATE in Cats

[@HildaRealtor]

Thank you for talking about FATE. I think every cat parents should know about it and be prepared. When it happened to my cat, within 15 min, I was given the hardest choice of my life. I refused to put him down, due to his old age, vet didn’t bother to do any treatment, just gave us pain killer and sent him home to die. My baby is a fighter, more than 1 year later, he’s stronger than ever. This is his birthday, he’s sweet 16 now!

[@sira451]

So happy to hear your sweet boy is doing well! What did you give him after leaving the vet? Did you try any homeopathic treatments? I haven't had this happen, but want to be informed and prepared.

[@andersdroid]

OMG!!! Im a little shocked that he didn’t at least give you a blood thinner for him. Very inexpensive and few side effects. You may want a second opinion as i credit the meds for keeping my baby from developing another clot. My Gary was 11. We also wanted to give him a chance. 18 months later he’s alive and well. He was diagnosed and treated at the esteemed vetrinary school,University of California Davis. He was given a blood thinner generic Plavix and pain meds. We brought him back to the clinic a week later to be screened for heart disease. The takeaway is don’t jump into euthanasia if you can get decent pain control. More cats do survive than vets realize. He was one of the rare cases that did not have underlying heart issues.

[@vincentdebock6959]

How soon was he treated? My Cat was treated a few days into this ( She was treated earlier when signs first appeared but was treated for the incorrect thing ) Did your cat regain his legs? My cat has lost both back legs now and we are giving her blood thinning meds. I hope she makes a full recovery though.

[@jaypp29]

Thanks for sharing. Your story fills me with high hope. My cat has been through this 2 weeks ago. He is improving. We can feel pulse in both legs but they are still weak to walk. I really respect his fighting spirit. I’m hopeful that he will continue to recover and live with us as long as possible.

[@leslieklinke2643]

I’m so excited for you! My baby cat Misty survived too! And I completely thank God over and over for that, being I believe God truly healed her in her case being there was a factor of neglect involved of her that I was not fully aware of. I continue to pray for her and am so there for her now and always will be.

I lost my baby this February. Still don’t know the cause. Vet said he had jaundice and anaemia but could this disease be the reason of his jaundice and anaemia?

[@ericaespinosa4030]

​​​@@suhanianand7231Jaundice is a liver problem. Nothing to do with the heart or circulation. Anemia is not enough iron. I'm so so sorry for your loss. Truly I am. I lost my cat to kidney failure 2 years ago. I know how painful it is to lose your cat to a health problem. It is strange that they didn't treat your cat with 2 things that I find can be treated but that is only my opinion I could be wrong.

My baby boy is going through this. He was diagnosed with Dilated Cardio Myopathy over a year ago. He is now in the stages of heart Failure and had his first blood clot in his right front leg. He didn’t cry about it at all, It went numb and he started walking on ankle one morning which is why I realized he was in pain. He spent a couple of days in the hospital and received oxygen, pain meds, and aspirin and Plavix. He’s now using his legs but still limping and they haven’t gone cold (or dead). I’ve work from home so I have the opportunity to take close attentive care of him. It hurts to see him happy and playful one week and suffering the next. He’s 11 years old. NO thanks to Racheal Ray and Blue Baffalo dry cat food! ALWAYS stick meats and canned meat with better ingredients

Look for your local vet emergency room. They open 24/7. It happened to two of our cats, both times we were able to get treated right away. I drove while my husband call the vet to give them a heads up. You can also ask doc to prescribe pain killer to keep in the fridge, whenever it happens, give your cat the pain killer to his gums while will work almost right away then drive your baby to the emergency room.

I lost my cat (Obi), this Monday from this, and he was only 5 yrs old 😢 It was so unexpected, I still haven’t processed it. I came home and gave him grass ( it was his favorite), he just sniffed it and turned around. His back legs were slippery and within 10 seconds he completely lost control of his legs and started crying with heavy breathing. I panicked, and rushed him to the emergency within 30 minutes. When arrived he was throwing blood, popping, and gasping for air. I ran like crazy, ugly crying and begging them to save my baby. They told me that we had to put him down, he was already in coma!!! How?? It was impossible, he was fine 1 hour ago!! I was in complete shock and denial. I could never put him down!!Eventually the vet came and gave me the saddest news.. he’s heart had stopped beating 😭💔 I always took good care of him, bought him the best food. He was our precious baby, and our lives are so empty without him 😢😢 Hugs for everyone who has been through this pain🖤

This happened to my son’s Siamese back in 2010. I thought he injured his leg because he wasn’t walking normally on Thanksgiving morning, I called the Vet & he told me to give him 1/2 an Aspirin but he wouldn’t meet me at the office & no local emergency Vet at that time. By Friday morning, he couldn’t walk at all & ended up paralyzed in his hind legs. He also couldn’t pee or poop on his own. We loved that cat so much & miss him terribly. 😢

Condolences to everyone else that has lost their furry ones and watching this. It happened so suddenly and took him and us by a painful surprise. We had our boy just over two years and whilst he was over 18 years old he fooled us otherwise acting like a young boy. It’s such a terrible choice to have to make to end the suffering. Wishing you all and your furry friends peace

Wish more veterinarians today were like you. Funny story my medical doctor and friend who unfortunately has passed away always told me he wished he would've become a veterinarian instead of a medical doctor.

[@tailzzzzz]

I had 2 cats, a year apart, fall to the ground, yowling, flopping from side to side. I have no idea if their back legs were paralyzed. They just howled, howled, and flopped side to side, twisting in excruciating pain. One I knew had an enlarged heart. Rushed her to the nearest vet, frantically screamed my cat is having a heart attack, and they handed me a dead cat and a $500 bill. Then another a year later, same thing. This time a male. I sat with him praying he would die. He went much more quickly, and I'm glad I didn't rush him to the vet. He wouldn't have survived the trip. It's a sound you'll neverrr forget. I miss them both. 😢😢 Been giving my cats taurine daily ever since.

[@claytonicnutz]

Lost my boy, Mr. Data, he was 12. Best cat ever, never scratched furniture, rare late night zoomies, never any problems. Then one day around 5am, he was howling, couldn't move his legs, could only crawl. ER vet. I had him put down about an hour and a half later (i remember my phone alarm going off). I miss him every day.

[@Rokesi]

Thank you for this video. It's very informative and I can see that you care very much as your emotions show through. I lost my beautiful 7 year old boy to this one month ago. It happened quite suddenly as he was fine a few minutes before, then I went upstairs and saw him panting, then realised he couldn't use his back legs. I rushed him to the emergency vet and they diagnosed him with this. He never miaowed in pain, but I heard him miaowing when they were testing him. The vet said he was in pain and gave him some methadone. He already had a mild heart murmur which was now a grade four and she didn't think that he would survive the treatment. I was desperate to keep him alive, but I didn't want him to die without me being there. I then had to make the most difficult and horrible decision I've ever made, which was to euthanase him. He died with me holding and kissing him. I'm beyond devastated. I've mixed feelings after reading the comments here, as some say their cats survive and others have made the same heartbreaking decision I made. I have other cats, and we're all missing him, especially one of my cats, who is 17, as they were best friends. There's such a hole in my life right now. I'd never heard of this condition until the night he was diagnosed with it. Life is never the same again after losing one of your companions.

I just lost my cat yesterday to this. We had to euthanize. We are just glad we were home and woke up when we heard him crying. We didn’t know he was in pain, we knew something was wrong but when we found him he was soaked with urine and poo and had spilt his water bowl all over him trying to scoot out of confusion. He was only 4 years old. They said it was hereditary and that treatment was expensive, not guaranteed and he would be in pain all the time. We had to do what was best for everyone. We are heartbroken and our house feels empty with out him. I had never even heard of this, now i know and want to have all my remaining baby’s screened for signs. Had we found this early before the clot we might have been able to save him.

I just lost my beloved BSH silver taby to FATE 24h ago. The blood cloth totally blocked all of the blood circulation to the legs. After 9h in the hospital, he passes away. He didn't break a sound, he even pushed his head against mine while he was in huge agony. I cannot comprehend how this happened, he was extremely strong, in the same day he was doing pull ups with his front legs only. He obviously had Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, but no one knew.

My cat survived the first attack. He was paralysed from waist down but we were giving him the acylpyrin treatment and initially he was making progress, but after a week it went worse and worse. He started to have breathing difficulties, then an abscess developed on top of his head and burst overnight, so there was blood everywhere. Then his front paw started to show signs of paralysis as well, and he couldn't breath anymore. Unfortunately, we had to put him sleep. There was nothing I could do to help him.

She'd always come every time I called to her. I couldn't understand what happened to her when she started gasping, couldn't walk and was yelping. I thought she had had a stroke because she lost bowel/bladder control. We just picked her up and took her to the emergency vet clinic 10 minutes away. They took her right back and within 20 minutes she was euthanized because I didn't want her to suffer. I had never heard of FATE before then. I already miss her so much and it happened so suddenly that I'm just now grasping that she's gone. Thank you for the video.

I just lost my cat Lion-O twelve hours ago to this. He was 9 years old and had a thyroid issue and had already suffered from pandoras syndrome he had been treated for. They did say he had a heart murmur but we thought treatment of the thyroid it would subside. Last night he suddenly threw up. He then got on the couch and started panting. We went and got the kennel and noticed his back legs weren’t working. We rushed him to the hospital and they said he was likely in heart failure and had FATE. They tested and confirmed for fate and gave him methadone for pain and oxygen. Due to monetary constraints and the expensive and likely uncertain and unlikely survival rate we decided to put him to sleep. We put on peaceful massage music and turned the lights low and held him as he went peacefully. I had hand raised this kitten so it was shocking and devastating. I wish I would have known to give aspirin and taken him home to try and survive with pain meds. I miss him so much and regret putting him down. He was such a sweet boy.

[@carnivorekat]

My biggest concern is cats getting way too many carbs. They are obligate carnivores. When I moved my cat over to a bioidentical cat food which is not beef and chicken it is venison, duck, lamb, and rabbit. My cats health improved dramatically. He is a rescue cat so who knows how he got his heart disease, seizures, murmur, and boderline kidney disease. I was hard pressed to find any food that didn't have carbs in it. I only found a few canned products. Jones will not do raw. I like in my own life the doctors I follow often say you cannot supplement your way to health. Jones has lived through 3 blood clots and the last one with nattokinase. I found a group that suggested it. I researched it and it dissolves them in a way a blood thinner cannot. There is way more to this story but wanted to share something simple cats are predators and obligate carnivores they are not human in way sense or form. They eat meat period. Please try to feed them what they would eat in the wild. Best of luck with all of your babies.

My car unfortunately is going through this right now but it was 3/4 days of an unsure diagnosis. It all started on a Saturday when I was looking for my cat around the house to find him in the basin or unusual he loves the cold space but what was weird was he wasn’t coming out to see me I found him under a shelf and I managed to carful get him out he didn’t meow or do anything out of the ordinary until he was siting in front of me be crawled back to hide. I was worried I laid next to the shelf on the ground petting him and she was shaking like he was “cold”. I thought made he was coming down with a kitty cold so I brought all his favourite blankets down stairs and made him a spot I though he would like the most a cubby. I picked him up and placed him inside and got him all tucked in he wasn’t in any pain for showing and concerning signs. The next morning he was still in the same spot. So by 1pm I made a call to a vet that I wanted to bring my cat in because this just wasn’t him. We came into the vet he was lethargic and very sad looking not vocal at all and that just wasn’t him! The vet didn’t really have much to say about a prognosis so he was put on Aventi liver because his liver Enzymes were at 209. Anti nausea pills, supplements, an antibiotic to be sure his white blood cell was normal. The vet said he had a heard murmur. Sent us on our way and said if his health declined to bring him back asap. By 8/9 that night he was in pain and lost 70/80 % of function in his legs he could use them but barely and he was in pain. Keep in mind before we left the vet I asked my vet in he was in pain the answer was no because Paddle thrombus wasn’t in his mind yet. So that entire night I’m googling things because now he’s in pain and can’t walk. I take him back first thing in the morning the vet thought he had a tail pull injury which I was actually really pissed off about. Because the second I got home with him I brought him to a room that was fit to take care of him and nothing could hurt him I made a bed on the floor to sleep right beside him and he’ll him. X-ray was done and you guessed in NO tail pull injury. He through up the idea of maybe is a clot but didn’t say much. That is was still probably injury when it was physically impossible as I was caring for him 24/7 if I wasn’t in the room someone else was for 5 mins while I was away. We got sent home with pain medication which by the way did absolutely nothing and was told to come back Wednesday if he made it. So for 3 long days and night I nursed my pore cat with no Definitive answer as to what was going on. He’s been bed bound and I’ve been on edge looking at him every 5 minutes arms reach away from him since Sunday. Little food water is in here and if he looks like he needs anything I bring things to him to figure it out. He messes I clean it up. Wednesday today his appointment rolled around and we get to the vet I cat him out of the kennel and to my surprise he is trying to walk barely but is trying and was the first time in 4 days I saw him actually trying to walk. So I brought up saddle thrombus and he thinks this is what he has more blood work was done but we were sent home. Thinking the clot might be clearing and that we would be referred to a cardiologist for an echocardiogram. I hate how unclear that last few days have been and I have had more help from the internet then a vet.

[@morganfriedrichs5798]

may i ask how your kitten is? i got home today and my cat can hardly walk but he tries when he really wants something but he mainly just crawls instead of walking. he’s not even a year old and he’s my first cat, im heartbroken that this could be what he’s going through.

I know that same thing happened to my black lab her legs went back wards she was screaming. I was insanely distressed we all were we put her to sleep immediately. I can't deal with animals in pain because they cannot talk. Vets WHERE I LIVE NEVER EVER DIAGNOSE MY PETS. THEY TAKE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WITHOUT CONSCIOUS OF HOW POOR YOU ARE OR HOW SICK YOUR PET IS. THEN TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. EVERYTIME. I HAD A RABBIT BLEED TO DEATH A MONTH PRIOR SHE HAD AN XRAY FULL BODY 3 POSES. YET DIED OF STONES. I SPENT THOUSANDS ON HER EVERY YEAR FOR 3 YEARS. I LIVE ON $850 A MONTH I HAD A CARE ONE CARD AND A MOM WHO HELPED BUT SHE GETS SAME MONEY I GET. The vets are told how broke we are but who cares they are money hungry at the VCA in Massachusetts.

I lost my boy Dobby ten years ago at the age of four and a half. He was not diagnosed until after he had passed. I had taken him to his vet and a cat specialist and they didn't catch it. This is a horrible disease that seems to becoming more prevalent.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

[@cyndianajones8077]

@@VeterinarySecrets I had read that it tends affect the larger male kittens in the litter and it is more common in litters where the mother is undernourished during pregnancy. Is this true? It started with leg tremors for Dobby and affected his kidneys. Thank you for your condolences.

I'm so glad you covered this when it happened to my cat I blamed myself. I thought I killed him with 1/8 of an aspirin... I just made him comfortable and I knew they were going to euthanize him at the vet I let him die comfortably at home with all family around. I felt so bad just all the things that you can imagine. This really put my heart at ease.

This what most definitely and likely what my poor kitty had when my dad saw him this morning and rush him to the vet with my parents so we had to put him down and out of misery and what's worst is that he never showed any of the signs that he had it as he was walking and acting normally how he acted with his old age before it occurred, so it was so sudden that it happened to him and i had no idea that this existed until now

[@shariward7733]

My vet didn't give an option she said less than 25 percent chance of survival so he was put to sleep. From him crying to getting to vet to him being put to sleep maybe 45 minutes. I'm still devastated 4 days later. I'm wondering if a good diet might have made a difference. He was overweight but i didn't think anything of it. I do wish I would have had a treatment option he was worth any amount of money.

3/02/23 my 12 yr old kitty (yo-yo ) started CKD meds Calcitrol 200mg & Benazepril 5mg. 3/27/23 Then kitty appeared depressed & in active & food appetite decreased, weight loss , breathing oddly at 30 breathes per minute & trip to vet ended in thoracentesis hospital stay, findings of Heart Failure & HCM & meds Pimobendan, Lasix, Amlodipine is treatment. Next step is vet visit 4/3/23 X-ray the pleural cavity (pleural Effusion). Vet didn’t mentioned rechecking the heart, said no cure only managed.

is he still alive hopefully?

[@laurafloyd5177]

@@pattycheeze sadly , no. I had to let my yo-yo go on may 13,2023. It was so awful to euthanize . My yo-yo looked so normal but his breathing was worsening due to fluid in pleural , after removing fluid twice , my vet advised no more tries. 😔. Heart Failure is incurable & the meds were to harsh on the kidneys. Do research because intervention options can be very harsh to our pets and cause more stress for pets.

Hi! Hoping you can please give me feedback about preventing this from occuring in my cat with HCM ... i want to give Hawthorne supliment but also have been prescribed clopidogrel. Im having difficulty getting a straight answer if i can do both? Maybe with a reduced dosage of clopidogrel if im giving hawthorn and dandelion root too? Pls advise 🙏🙏 i want to reduce this risk as much as possible. My cat is 18, lower platelets and mild anemia with some kidney issues...minimal drugs i believe is most important but also minimal risk for this horrible outcome. Im not sure how high his risk would be. Ty!!

My cat is one year old, doesn’t have any heart issues. But yesterday suddenly started limping, we took him to the vet. They said his pulse is low in his hind legs, and lost lots of muscle in his legs. Now he struggling to walk. Been given blood thinner and pain killer :( they said it could be a clot but they don’t know for sure.
