It can rightly be described as the worst nightmare of every cat parent. Saddle Thrombus (or Saddle Thrombosis) is an uncomfortable condition that occurs most commonly in cats. It is often caused by heart disease but it can also be completely spontaneous. It is also referred to as aortic thromboembolism because it starts as a blood clot in the left atrium of the heart which moves into the aorta. The clot can then get stuck between the aorta and the iliac arteries, leading to loss of blood flow to the hind legs.
It can happen suddenly out of nowhere with no early signs to watch out for. Checking for symptoms of heart disease can be helpful but not always. Most cat parents discover it when the affected kitty is found yowling in discomfort unable to move the hindquarters. The prognosis is sad, but then again miracles sometimes happen. BobBob is one of those miracles.
Allison’s senior cat BobBob left the vets stunned when he made a recovery from Saddle Thrombus. The little fighter is now supported by NHV supplements and continues to hop, skip and jump like a young kitten.
One night in early May, 14 y/o cat Orangey BobBob was rushed to the 24/7 vet after he had a sudden serious medical emergency that caused him to lose mobility in his back legs. The vets ran tests and determined that he’d had a Saddle Thrombus; a serious blood clot that lodges near the arteries that branch out to the hind legs and tail, preventing blood flow and causing paralysis to the hind legs and tail. We were told that many cats do not survive this or may face hind leg paralysis forever, but BobBob would not give up! Within mere hours he was up and using his legs again! The vets were shocked at his recovery.
After he returned home, a friend of mine suggested NHV supplements to help keep our little orange miracle as healthy as possible. Ever since BobBob has been taking Hearty Heart and Turmeric from NHV every morning and every night as prescribed and he is doing better than ever! He has lots of energy and loves to climb, jump and run; his coat is shiny and soft, and the best part is his 4+ months and counting with no further incidents! He loves routines and knows the drill now and takes his medicine, or what we call his “medi” twice a day like a good boy. He is a spry orange panther and NHV helps him stay strong and guard his domain, stalk his prey, and jump, climb and play!
BobBob is a miraculous cat and his human is now supporting the miracle with Hearty Heart and Turmeric.
We love getting updates like this one. We are so happy to have helped our miracle boy! Here’s his mom update about BobBob:

NHV Hearty-Heart is a great supplement for supporting cardiac function. The herbs in it are beneficial for various heart-related conditions – heart failure, hypertension, heart murmurs, saddle thrombus, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy… and they work preventively too! Studies show that curcumin, the active ingredient in Turmeric, has the power to prevent heart failure.
The two come together in a kit called Cardiomyopathy Kit. Omega 3 fatty acids will also be helpful in this situation and hence, NHV Pet Omega 3 is also a useful recommendation that NHV Pet Experts have made to Allison for BobBob.
We are all crossing paws for this little orange panther and sticking close to his mom to tweak his regimen as he ages. While Saddle Thrombus mostly troubles kitties, there are heart conditions that certain dog breeds are very vulnerable to. If you want to get any holistic advice for your kitty, get in touch with an NHV Pet Expert today. We love your pet, naturally.

Pet Expert Tip For Heart Disease In Cats
Dr. Hillary Cook, DVM, CVA and holistic veterinary partner at NHV says that optimal weight maintenance is probably one of the most important goals that pet parents should work toward in managing cardiac disease in their pets.
Hawthorne – Is considered to be one of the best herbs for fortifying the heart and supporting your veterinarian’s recommended cat heart disease treatment. Hawthorn acts as a cardiotonic, which helps stabilize the heart’s activity based on what the feline heart needs; either to be stimulated or reduce activity. Hawthorn has traditionally been used for heart failure, heart palpitations, heart weakness, and for the circulatory system. Hawthorne works by dilating the vessels and the coronary arteries, which improves the metabolic process and the blood supply to the heart and the rest of the cat’s body. It helps regulate your cat’s heart rate, coronary flow, and blood pressure. Hawthorne also has a soothing and sedative effect, which helps reduce stress.
Balsam Poplar – Stimulates circulation and supports blood flow. Balsam Poplar has been popular, historically, amongst the indigenous population in North America for coughs. It’s also been used as food for horses. Balsam Poplar has strong anti-inflammatory and may help with discomfort.
Hops – Helps relax tension and anxiety while supporting circulation.
Valerian – Helps manage heart palpitations and regulates the nervous system. Valerian plays a vital role in the nervous system by gently calming the nerves, which helps a cat's body to physically relax.
Woody Betony – This herb is one of the most valued in herbal medicine and has been used for centuries for over forty ailments! It acts as a mild stimulant to the heart. It is a nerve tonic that nourishes and builds vital energy. Woody Betony contains glycosides, which may help reduce blood pressure in cats, aiding in cat heart disease treatment.
Lobelia – Causes immediate relaxation and expansion of the respiratory system that allows oxygenated blood to flow freely. It helps with circulation and reduces agitation in cats.
European Mistletoe – Helps control tachycardia, relaxes spasms and hypertension. A cardiotonic that has been used for centuries.
Motherwort – Has a strengthening effect, especially on a weak heart. It helps sooth and relaxes the heart muscle. Motherwort helps maintain a regular heartbeat and lowers blood pressure, stress, and anxiety.
