I just wanted to update everyone on Catness.  He is doing great but required another round of antibiotics.  He is regaining a lot of his motor function and even meowed today!  If you care to read this post, I believe you may find some valuable information to help others, should this ever happen...

UPDATE:  The Clinda-cure is helping some but my kitty still is not eating or drinking on his own.  I have been getting him sub-q fluids daily, but tomorrow the vet is closed.  I have been getting some liquid food into his mouth but he really hates it!  If he doesn't start to eat soon... :-(...

UPDATE:  The Neuro appointment was with Dr. Skeen in Winston-Salem, NC. He suggested a spinal tap.  I was very nervous for Catness at first but the Dr. assured me that a spinal tap for animals, which do not stand upright (like humans) is much easier. Afterward Catness was in good shape, and...

Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for your help.  I took Catness to the Neurologist today.  To answer a previous question:  Originally an xray was "offered" at the ER vet but not suggested because there was zero sign of injury. The Neuro said if it was poison, or injury it would be BAM!  BAD...

Xray was offered but other things were offered first due to costs.

Thank you!  I have an appointment with a neuro tomorrow morning at 9am.  Someone else  mentioned what I understood as a seizure with permanent effects.  Cat was given valium in case he was having a seizure, but the vet indicated he'd get better if a seizure was the case.  Any thoughts?  I'd like...

No xray...

ilovemia - So if I understand you correctly, a seizure can leave a physical effect that lasts for days and days (perhaps forever)?  Is there any way to get the animal to recover from what the seizure did?  I have only known strokes to leave behind such effects and permanently (without rehab) as...

Thanks for your questions, my replies are in underline. What kind of technician? What was s/he doing ?  It was my step dad, he was checking my HVAC handler under the house. Were they using any sort of chemicals / compressed gas/air ?  None. How close to the technician's activity was the cat...

Also, would a 2 year old cat have a stroke? I know it is possible, but probable?

So would a stroke or seizure keep him like this?  I mean, I know a stroke would... but a seizure?

Hi there, he has had all of these things you suggested except seeing a neurologist.  He had full bloods, hospitalized, perfect labs, perfect temp, seen two vets...  Otherwise I am planning a trip to nero tomorrow.  I am so scared because he refuses to eat or  drink. Please someone reply if...

Hello, I'm in a real panic and hoping to connect with someone online who may have had a SIMILAR situation and can help. HISTORY: I have a 2 1/2 year old male, neutered cat. Only health issue has been a urinary blockage about 8 months ago, otherwise healthy. (I suspect gravy lovers food - as it...
