Peripheral and systemic blood glucose levels in dogs and cats with acute arterial thromboembolism

Arterial thromboembolism (ATE) is a devastating condition in cats most commonly associated with cardiac disease and less frequently other diseases. In cats, ATE is manifested most commonly by an acute onset of unilateral or bilateral paresis or paraplegia, weak or absent arterial pulses, pain, altered footpads, and cold extremities of the affected limbs. The hind limbs are most commonly affected. ATE occurs less commonly in dogs than cats and is associated with a wider range of predisposing conditions.
