Basically, weve had difficulties in his right leg with clotting and getting blood down to his toes and it just isnt happening with surgery and everything, Kloots said in an Instagram story on Saturday. They had him on blood thinners for the clotting and unfortunately the blood thinners were causing some other issues blood pressure and some internal bleeding in his intestines so we took him off of blood thinners, but that again was going to cause some clotting in the right leg.
