Sudden temporary paralysis
I have a cat about ten years old, neutered male, diabetic controlled
by insulin. A few minutes ago he started crying as if he were in pain and his hind legs went out from under him. He seemed to be paralyzed in the hind quarters. While we were trying to figure out what was wrong, he defected then seemed to recover. He's up walking around now. We are trying to get hold of our vet, but has anyone seen anything like this? |

Check his rear paws for coolness and/or a bluish color (cyan) around his claw beds. He might have had a small clot at the terminal abdominal aorta (the aortic trifurcation). He should probably have an echocardiogram even if his paws are normal and he's acting ok. Good luck, Phil |
