Abstract
A 14-year-old intact male Chinchilla cat was presented to Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chung Hsing University due to a sudden weakness of the hind limbs. Coldness was found on both hind limbs. Pulseless on the right hind limb and a weak-pulsed on the left hind limb were revealed by physical examination. Thrombus was detected in aortic bifurcation by ultrasonography. After treating the patient with supportive care, antithrombotics (including Dalteparin sodium, clopidgrel) and thrombolytics (Streptokinase), the thrombus lysed on the next day. Being able to use the affected limbs in the following days, the cat was discharged on the 6th day, although Ischemia-reperfusion injury was still presented. It indicated that thrombolytics may be a choice that is beneficial to some cats with distal aortic thromboembolism.
