HBC swollen/edematous hind legs?

I performed an Echo on this patient today, a fellow technician’s cat was HBC approx 6 days ago and started to develop labored breathing. I am waiting for the U/S report but in the interim I was wondering what might be causing the hind leg swelling? They u-cathed him to ensure the bladder was emptying and he can actually walk a few steps despite the swelling in his legs. He had a fractured pelvis of which they repaired with an internal fixator as well; suture line in pic.

He is also on IVF and PCV dropped to 18% today as well. Chest rads from yesterday to today show worsening lungs.

That is what I was thinking as well as his toe pads were on the cool side. Thx, I will see if they would like to go ahead with an abdominal scan as well.

Thank you Dr.Lobetti, I had to look that one up “hemorrhagic diathesis”. I will pass these possibilities on to the doctor.
