1 A bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, causes the disease.  There are many risk factors for TB. Clinical symptoms and signs of pulmonary TB include fever, night sweats, cough, hemoptysis (coughing up blood-stained sputum), weight loss, fatigue, and chest pain.
Feline Tooth Resorption (TR) is a syndrome in cats characterized by resorption of the tooth by odontoclasts, cells similar to osteoclasts.TR has also been called feline odontoclastic resorption lesion (FORL), neck lesion, cervical neck lesion, cervical line erosion, feline caries, or feline cavity.Rs have been seen more recently in the history of feline medicine due to the advancing ages of cats, but 800-year-old cat skeletons have shown evidence of this disease. Purebred cats, especially Siamese and Persians, may be more susceptible.
What is a feline aortic thromboembolism? Feline cardiogenic arterial thromboembolus (ATE), also known as âsaddle thrombus,â is a devastating complication of heart disease in cats. Heart disease can cause disturbances in blood flow through the heart that can lead to the formation of blood clots. In cats, these blood clots can travel downstream and become lodged in the femoral arteries -- the main arteries that provide blood flow to the hind limbs. When a saddle thrombus occurs, there is a loss of blood flow to the hind legs causing pain, decreased pulses, cold limbs and paralysis.
