Feline paralysis-hind leg/tail due to a possible bloodclot in spinal area. Looking for any help?

My cat Honeybunz had a sudden paralysis of the hind legs/tail on Nov. 16 (13th b-day Nov. 17). He’s had a heart murmur for a few years. Possible blood clot in the spinal cord area. Had no deep pain response in legs, after 3 accupuncture treatments one leg is moving (shaking). After over $1,500, I need any info on what else I can do. Has anyone used herbal, holistic therapy for this?(transfer factor, oils, etc.) Accupuncture was working, but $85 due at the visit-just can’t do it. He is my baby, and he is dealing with it, but it has been 3 weeks and I need to do something. I do exercises on his legs, one foot now won’t even bend-is completely straight (the one that moves). He is able to sit up, eats-organic can food mixed with vitamins and drinks -water and health drink. Wets and poops-on pee pads. UTI last week-Clavimox fixed it. He can scoot a little by dragging his back end. If you know of anything that may help him, please let me know. We live in the Green Bay, WI area. Thanks!!!

Only you can know when it is time to give your cat his final rest, peace and freedom from physical problems.

I euthanized my 22 and 1/2 year old cat a couple of weeks ago. She had several incidents in the last six months of her life where she lost control of her back legs – they passed and she regained her mobility. I did about seven sessions of acupuncture for her and it did not seem to help with her arthritis so it was discontinued. Her loss of leg function was probably due to failing kidneys which is common indication of kidney failure.. Since she was always such a good eater I think the criteria in my mind was that when she no longer wanted to eat that would be the time. And the time came.

You are taking such good care of your guy. If he still seems to be happy and is enjoying his food and your love I wouldn’t give up on him. It is a very difficult situation to deal with. I have a picture of Cameo on her last day – she went outside as usual to soak up some of the warm sunshine she loved to feel on her body so much.

What happens when we leave the physical body will never be known to us here on earth. I truly hope for Cameo that her “death” is a release to a spirit world that is free from physical limitations and that she is floating around out there somewhere in a wonderful new existence. She will always remain in my thoughts and heart.
