Dr. Fox had a letter in his column recently from a lady whose cat suddenly lost control of her back legs and was screaming constantly. he said this often happens expecially with older cats. they develope a blood clot and it lodges in the spie just before the hind legs, causing paralysis. if you get to the hospital fast enough, can remove/disolve the clot releaving the painand paralysis. not so with an older cat, they usually cnnot take the anethesia. dorlis ---- Jody Butler <jbutler5...@bellsouth.net> wrote: > > Thank you all for the words of support.
