Arterial Thrombembolism in Cats | VETgirl Veterinary CE Podcasts

In today's VETgirl podcast, we review feline arterial thromboembolism (FATE) - otherwise known as arterial thromboembolism (ATE). FATE is commonly associated with underlying cardiomyopathy and most commonly affects peripheral limbs. The high morbidity and mortality thus carry a generally poor prognosis, with euthanasia a frequent outcome. Cats may present with concurrent congestive heart failure (CHF). For the minority of cats who achieve partial or complete resolution of ATE, the likelihood of recurrent ATE is high.
