Best boy, suddenly claimed by Feline Aortic Thromboembolism (aka F.A.T.E., or Saddle Thrombus) this morning. I thought he had a broken back, his back legs had become useless. But he also had lung involvement, and could barely breathe. Took him to the emergency vet where they said that there was pretty much no treatment, but that if they did treat with anticoagulants it would only recur. He was 13, and he was in so much distress, it was a no brainer for me to have him euthanased. Having said that, I'll now say this. It doesnt get any easier. I'm sitting here even now, half expecting him to come in and demand to be brushed and given treats.
Rest in Peace, Tom.
