Well crap - Demeter
Lulu came back home today after taking her son back to Bellingham. About 30 minutes later, one of our cats -- Demeter -- started yowling something fierce and we found her on the stair landing unable to move her hind legs.
Turns out to be a
Saddle Thrombosis. This is generally the first symptom of congestive heart failure so Lulu and I are both in a state of shock right now. Demeter is only seven years old and was totally full of life earlier this morning.
She is doped up now and feeling no pain, we are trying low-dose aspirin and if she pulls through, there is an excellent feline cardiologist in Fairhaven just to our south. Prognosis is not that good though.
All of the other critters are doing fine -- we have that to be thankful for.
