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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Just lost my cat to this an hour ago, didn’t understand and this helps a lot. But the pain will be here for me for awhile. I’ll miss you taco 😢
Your cat also suffer from this disease
If so then plzz tell me
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?
@@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.
This happened to my cat yesterday. Idk how I’m suppose to go on without him.
My wife and I just lost our beautiful boy Olly to this this this morning. He would have been 7 soon. Prayers for everyone out there whose pets have had this happen. And thank you, Doctor, for helping provide us all some closure. 🙏🏻
This just happened to my best friend chuckie this morning. I’m so sad that he was in so much discomfort, it was heartbreaking. My condolences to everyone that lost a friend this way!
Is he survive please ? My 6 month cat is with same disease
My cat just died of this yesterday, he just had hip surgery, I can’t stop crying
@@trayjaneI’m sorry for your loss ❤
@@trayjaneOh I'm so sorry
We had 2 cats that had it happen. 1 lived 2 months. The other was treated immediately and lived 2 more years.
Both were screaming in pain. Please get them to the emergency vet immediately.
What happens if it's the middle of the night? I have a 9 year old ginger male named Tigger. I want to be prepared, just in case. Hope that I don't have to rush for help.
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.
@@HildaRealtor okay thanks.
My grandfather Holistic veterinarian he had a lot of success with using tumeric For blood clots and Hawthorn Berry to regulate and strengthen the heart works in humans as well
Our 16 y/o Lab mix gets a combination capsule of hawthorn and CoQ10 every day and his heart is still doing great.
@@bethanyherrera4787 synthetic gmo pharmaceutical drugs have side effects but GOD created organic natural remedies doesn't have side effects.
Thanks for info and how do u administer these supplements please ? My cat is v adverse to having Anything extra ...
Lost our boy to this today. He was deep into heart failure and other issues. We'll miss him terribly.
So sorry to hear. Im currently dealing with this now what were your cats symptoms of heart failure? Mines back legs are limp, he's eating and peeing but seems like he lost his meow. Idk if its heart failure or disease
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
Kitty was like I dont have that so let go!
It happened to my Boots. It was horrible to watch him suffering. With the advice of our veterinarian we had to put him to sleep. We are still in shock and pain.
Thank you doc for providing all the info about this ailment.
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.
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. 😢
How about NATTOKINASE???
I have highlipoproteinA (very thick blood prone to clotting) and i take nattokinase every night before bed.
It is a natural clot DISSOLVER.
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.
Your beautiful kitty ‘patient’ is not nearly as lovable as your precious Tula, but another great video … have not heard of FATE before this. Thanks for the alternative suggestions too. 👍
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.
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.
so sorry about your cat. I know the feeling, we just lost our little alex on sunday to this too. same exact thing except we weren't home and came home to him dragging himself in pain everywhere. took him to emergency and they told us the same thing. The house isn't the same without him and his brother misses him so much. Taking him to get checked out as I don't want to see it happen again!
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 lost my boy Mika two days ago, he was almost 9 years old. I am so devastating.
I didn't know Maine Coon is prone to have heart disease. When the vet told me, he already had blood clots on the back legs, difficult breathing and motionless. We was struggling of what to do and we love him so much. In the end we decided to put him to sleep so no more suffering for him, it was the most hardest thing we have ever made. I am very very upset and still question myself if this was the right thing to do for him....I miss him so so much.
My sweet baby just passed from this 💔 it was so sudden. I love my baby girl ❤
I lost my Blackie to this last December it was horrific, I had to put him to sleep. I just couldn't let him be in that much pain. The vet said his legs were dying and that was what was so painful. The hospital told me that it would be a long, expensive treatment that wouldn't necessarily get better.
You're ABSOLUTELY fantastic 💖
I just lost one of my cats due to this I’m very heartbroken was told there’s nothing we can do this video helps bring me some more information & closure I just wish there’s something we could have done this is one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever been through 😢
With you. Our 11 year old Balinese (Puddles) was rushed to the vet yesterday for this condition. We buried him yesterday. Like losing a child. Such heartbreak 💔 my condolences 💐
We lost our 3-year-old Seal Point Siamese on Saturday Morning. His personality had changed suddenly, and he was unable to move his hind legs. We had to put him down 2 hours after we found him like this. I miss him so much. He was everything right in this world. Animals are innocent, and he was a lover. Neptunium you are forever in our hearts. Plus, you made your daddy LOVE cats!!! Thanks Bubba!
This happened to my 9 year old tabby on Christmas Eve, as we were driving on snowy roads to the closest open vet an hour away he passed 😔 very scary and traumatic first way to lose a pet, but I’m glad he’s no longer suffering 💔
I lost my beloved fur baby girl to this 1 week ago. I miss her so much. She's my life, my everything, the meaning of my life. Now my life is so meaningless.
i know our pain, i lost my cat Murphy this week, was 12, i am heartbroken, tok him to the vet said he had congestive heart disease, brought him home and was crying out in pain, was on way back to vet and he died on way, i will never forget the stress he was in and the crys, will haunt me forever,you start to think could i have done more, i just last my sister in march so murphy was a great comfort, i feel so broken, every morning he would sit with me on his own chair at the breatfast table and just loved to be near me, i will never get over this loss,so i understand how you feel, today agin i just sit and cry.
@@chrismullan7191 I'm so sorry for your loss. I won't tell you time will heal or anything like that, because I know it doesn't. My baby girl's passing took away all my emotions except sadness. I'm counting down to the day I meet her again in heaven.
It's really tough...I know no words can console your loss. Hugsss xxx
@@phyllisloh6572 Bless you, thank you for your lovely comment, yes the loss of our furbabies is a pain like no other xx
That is one giant, beautiful feline you are holding Dr. Jones❣Thank you for your videos!
I have a very old cat, kidney disease; I don't want to take her to the vet anymore because she is terrified and frail, and i'd rather her last days/months be comfortable. I hope she will die in her sleep; no vets close by, and $400 to get one to come to the house for euthanasia. I'm giving her CBD oil once a day right now; she eats just enough. Any tips or info much appreciated...
My lab mix just came down with something awful. Bumps on back. Some redness on lower stomach and a lot of licking. Found you while researching and haven't looked back.
We lost our beautiful boy this morning. It was so sad seeing him in pain. We had to have him put to sleep. It just happened so fast.
The night before he came to bed as normal but wasn't his normal weird self, very lethargic. In the morning he was just yowling really loud, louder than he usually does. Heartbreaking
I love that you said you hope it never happens to you or your cat. 💕
i just wanted to share as well. My kitten of 6 months had FATE yesterday. We rushed him into the hospital almos immediately when we saw that his legs were limping. It was an extremely rare case for his age. My family were in complete denial that he had to be put down. It was the most sudden and upsetting moment.
Omg I'm so sorry! So young! Poor baby. I'm so sorry for your family and you. 😢
I absolutely love your honesty thanks so much😽
Dr. Jones.... Hope you and yours are doing better... Praying for y'all. Have a wonderful Christmas!!!! God Bless You!!!!!
Great information! Thank you!
Thank God for people like you in this world!
Thank you doctor
Thank you so much! GOD bless
You are wonderful and that big ‘ol kitty is so cute! 😻
😢 We just lost our Alex to this on Sunday, he was only 4 years old. RIP little buddy. My daughters and I were crushed to lose him. Very good explanation of this disease. Very Informative. Wish I had known about this sooner. Subscriber to the channel. I also hope no one else has to see their cat go through this.
you are simply put...the very best! thank you for your videos...😽🐈🐕🐎🐖🦙🐁🐿🐤
You are a beautiful person God bless you doc.
I Sincerely feel All your pain, all you that have been through. I loved my baby and he loved me back so so so much. He brought so so much JOY and happiness. He left a huge whole in our lifes for life. We had to put him down last week due to this issue discussed in the video. To all of you that have been through this, may God heal your hearts
Thank you Dr Jones I have never heard of it but will certainly be purchasing it thank you you once again love and blessings to you all 💞💞💞🐕🐕🐕😺😺😺
As always thank you for your honesty and integrity. I wish I had found your channel sooner. Keep posting content like this it may be the difference between just in time and too late.
Thank you:)
Aside from your good veterinary advice, I love watching your pets especially Murray, the cuddly fluffy big boy. I wish I could hold him myself even though I know cats generally decide when they should be touched.
I'm thinking this is what happened to my beloved cat. The emergency vet didn't say nothing and only suggested to euthenizing.
Poor thing. How do you find emergency vet. My cat is almost 9. May need it sometime.
@@jonogren5567
Do you live in the U.S.? Emergency Veterinarian Hospital's are Everywhere. Obviously much more difficulty, as far as travel, if you're in a rural area.
@@CherylBerryl thanks. I'm in WA. About 40 minutes from Seattle.
Many Universities have Emergency Vets; in my area we have Purdue University. Be prepared to pay $$$ as just walking through their door is $100.00 minimum
@@A10TOES thanks.
We are going through this now. July 2022 he was diagnosed with a low degree heart murmur and it wasn't implied that we needed to do anything but keep an eye on it. Late Friday night iggy was unable to use his back leg, raced to the emergency vets. Next day circulation was coming back. Sunday he was finally eating and moving around pretty well, no coldness and pads are normal again. Echo today and praying for more time. He's so young, 4 in August.
I lost my baby Mikasa to this over a year ago. Her ashes are now on a shelf in my room with items in her memory.
I took my cat today to the Vet and for now he dosen't have blood cloth jet. But hi have the humming in he's heart and we need to take him to a specialist. I'm so thankful for this video.
Good info! Thanks! I use Ubiquinol for heart and muscle health also!
I still miss Murray.😺❤️
i lost my beloved kitty to this, i miss him so much, sending prayers to all kitties who died this way😔
My 11 year old Balinese had to be rushed to the vet yesterday over this condition. He could not move his back legs whatsoever. He did not come out of there alive. So heartbroken over it 😢
Great information can you tell me if they have a for of omega 3 for cats..thank you.
Oh doctor, my cat is on her way to Pet emergency within the hour for what I believe could be this very thing. I believe it's time for me to say goodbye. It's strange how I found this. She's about 5 yrs old. She lived outside for four years
Very feral but not now. I've grown so close to her. I'm taking care of her babies and grandbabies. Thank goodness everyone is spay and neutered. But losing her...well😔💜
You need to let all of those who you sold them to about this, as I was told that it comes from the mother and spreads down the lines. They should not be breeding them. I hope you had a heart scan on them before selling them.
I lost my dear friend Gizmo to this , she was in profound agony and it just broke my heart .
I can’t conceive a more hellish way for such a kind creature to pass .
Thanks very much for this video , it was very informative.
Thank you for this. I am wondering if you'll cover FIP in cats?
Such a pretty cat
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'm so sorry 😞
Oh my God! Very Evil! There is a special place in Hell prepared for these Bastards!
Oh my
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.
That sassy attitude...lol
Dr Linus Pauling did studies involving vitamin C , L-Lysine, and L-proline. It was said to clean out arteries and help with heart disease. How effective would this be for cats and dogs?
Can dogs get that too
LOL I think Murray has about had enough of being in your videos. 😂 I see you are very close to have half a million subscribers.. Congratulations Dr. Jones. Thank you for the information. I have 2 cats and feed 4 stray cats.
Thanks!
Blood thinners in humans are cayenne and ginger root. Can a cat eat these?
What natural pain killers can you give a cat?
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?
@@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.
@@laurafloyd5177 i lost my special boy this Saturday. I hand raised him after finding him alone at a Tire Discounters in June 2016 at 4-5 weeks old. He threw a blood clot from heart failure and had saddle thrombus and I didnt have time to react. Had to say goodbye at the ER vet. I'm so devastated. He was only 7. I was hoping for a better outcome with yours 😪 So sorry for your loss
@@pattycheeze thank you very much and sorry for your loss too.
You almost caught the skippity paps in the beginning there bud.
My cat died of this last year. The Emergency Vet told me that they've never seen a cat recover from this, & that I need to euthanize. I'm still so heartbroken. And just weeks later, another of my cats died from his battle with lung cancer...& they wouldn't even let me in the building to be able to be with him in order to say goodbye 😭....thanks to this Plandemic.
Im sorry for your loos...my rabbit had a siezure...could not be with him either...🙏
I’m sorry. ❤️
The CoronaCON
:(
Becuz it’s not about anything now but fearmongering
These ppl have a certain hell just for them, who kidnap sick loved ones to isolate them while dying.
I lost 2 cats to this. 😪
So sorry 😞 I as well just lost my second cat to this. So traumatic.
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
I just lost my beautiful girl today. Im heartbroken as she seemed perfectly fine in the morning eating, drinking etc then at midday she lost function of her back legs, rushed to the vets and she passed away by 12:45pm.
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.
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.
Did your cat survive this? Your situation sounds the same as mine right now
we are currently going through this with our cat. Suddenly she couldn't use her hind legs and even her tail is affected. Took her to an emergency vet yesterday. Decided not to put her through all the rigorous and expensive testing and brought her home to care for her. She will see her vet on Thursday where we will probably make the decision to let her go if this hasn't improved. I love her dearly but won't let her suffer. Zeva is her name and she is almost 10 years old. Never saw this coming. My cats usually live from 12 - 16 yrs old
What about using nattokinase and Coq10 to treat FATE?
Dr. Jones, do you have any video about treating dog benign warts with cryopens? I have a small dog wish is 12 years old and has warts all over the body causing him to scratch itself. Alraedy tried Vit E, Apple cide vinegar, nothing works. I heard cryo therapy can heal the warts.
my cat tum about 5 month old can't walk properly 😔 i thought he's paralysis we went to the vet several times he didn't have any fever or other sickness but vet doc advised to use calcium and MV but i give him every morning and night after Lunch and dinner but kinda didn't work's 😔 i feel so sad 😭 I hope my cat can walk properly like other's 🐈🙏🏻
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.
I'm sorry for your loss, I offer my condolences.
@@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.
Could you please help my dog is 10 years old she is a jack Russell terrier when we go to sleep at night she hacks and coughs like she is trying to cough something up also when she barks she does this also and when drinking water we are talking her to the vet this Wednesday but we are really worried if you have any suggestions can you please let us know thanks for all you do and God bless
I am going to be very loud and clear on this: DO NOT EUTHANIZE YOUR CAT IF THIS HAPPENS GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SURVIVE.
I have been giving squid cooked at home and liquid omega oil to my 17 yr old cat. Am i doing right thing? Or should i look for taurine supplement med?
I think my cat has either stroke or FATE.....but it was caught very early and today she is walking and can eat and drink a little....so she may be one of the lucky ones. she is 19.
Hello Dr. Jones. Please I need your help. My son (cat) was diagnosed with FATE. I need your advice. Please 🙏
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 cat passed from fate 😢🐈
My 16 yr old cat has this. Vet prescribed clopidogrel & benazepril. She has a gallop heartbeat. But she’s still having episodes & it’s so awful. Is it typical it continues to happen despite the medicine??? She’s been on these meds for a month now
Thank you Dokter. I will watch my Cat. It looks terrible to me.
How can I know dog in pain 🙏🏼
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.
Thanks and you are welcome Clare
Sound is picking up feedback??
My 7 years cat has many problems going on at the same time. My main concern now is that he has IBD and ecoli infection in his right middle ear. He had stomach upset and diarrhea (one time seen with blood) when he took Zeniquin antibiotic( only 4 tablets). It’s been over a month and now his stools have improved. Should we continue to give him Zeniquin or we should change to something else like chloramphenicol ( which I’m worried it’s going to upset his stomach along with the other side effects). Zeniquin is the safest of the other options. The other option besides antibiotics would be to make VBO surgery as the vet suspect that with the infection he likely has a polyp in his middle ear from what’s seen on the ct scan. Please let me know what do you thinks. Any advice.
Thank you
I’m not a vet, but maybe try fortiflora or something similar to improve gut bacteria. Antibiotics kill good gut bacteria and can cause diarrhea.
Antibiotics in humans can cause c.diff., with horrible diarrhea. Pro/prebiotics are crucial if this symptom presents. I would look for some that help feline digestive health.
My cat had this but it came on so fast he had to be put to sleep. I wonder if my cats underlying condition Klinefelters, could make this more common. He had no obvious heart problem. Even as being sick his heart was sounding normal.
This happened to my cat yesterday. The doctor said it’s highly unlikely to recover. We had to euthanize him. I’m so heartbroken.
I had to put my 3 year old baby down this morning....
......he was screaming in so much pain.
I have a question, Can I rub mint herb on her fur? My cat loves the smell of mint. I had mint scented trash bags she would knock the barrel over and go inside if it was empty. She loves it so much she won't eat it just rub on it as long as it's just a little?
It's like perfume to her or nip 😆
Catnip is a member of the mint family 😊... I would be careful using other "mints" indiscriminately, tho...
This is really scary because my cat was born with heart problems
My 15 year old big cat started limping with his left hind leg tonight all of a sudden. He just plops on the ground and has trouble getting up again with that leg. He can move but it's clearly painful. I can't tell if it's this FATE thing or if he hurt himself when he jumped off the bed tonight. He is lying there chilled out right now. He ate well but he peed on the floor and vomited a hairball as well at some point before this happening. So not sure what's going on. I brushed him and he enjoyed it but growled whenever I got near the tail or hind quarters. It's 2 AM right now and so am reluctant to stuff him in a carrier for an ortho issue. How can I tell the difference between FATE and some other urgent issue that can wait until morning? His pain is not constant as he is not vocalizing just when he moves that leg or tries to walk or when I brush that area.
very informative video, but the music and that audio static was rather annoying and distracting
